What is an E-ticket ride? I hear that crap all the time and don't know what it means.

I was never really keen on OG either. Just say original. or german.

And NOS, should be N.O.S

It'sa So Cal thing....

Since the 1950s, E Ticket (or E ticket ride) has referred to an unusually thrilling, interesting, most-interesting, or most-expensive situation. It derives from the tickets used at Disneyland and Walt Disney World theme parks until 1982. Park-goers bought tickets in different denominations, from A through E, with E tickets being the most expensive and reserved for the newest, most expensive or popular rides and attractions.

To expand on Mr. Warehouse's posts. Back in the day, Disneyland sold rides individually. You'd buy tickets and then give them to the ride operator. Tickets were A, B, C, D or E with the E Tickets being the most expensive and offering the most exciting rides,

back to the plot


4 1/2 and early 6's




and what the hell are these as seen at EBI

[nicolas]

17 inch chevy wheels if i remeber it correct. comes from some sort of american car. i believe they were 3,5 inches wide


if my memory is good that was the answer we got at EBI
all the memories are allready blurring, we need a new EBI fast, just for refreshing my memory...

Those Wheels Came on a early to mid 70's Chrysler 300

[Black Sheep]

Don't know if they are too old school , but i just got me a set of porsche patten 130 /15/5.5 Ansen's . 


They have a mad offset , just tuck in with the 3" narrowed beam  , short axel's on the rear seem fine too get them in .

Don't know if Im going to run with them

Polished centerlines rule best looking wheel on a large 5 stud car IMHO

[dekatee]

liked the mahles so much before they got a repro !
was my 2nd set that i sold to a club member where they got a black / polished detailing .

[2manytoys]

My new favorites!  by the way, I need one more, a single, solo uno, wheel. T34 ghia will look awesome see the center snout, a littel different.

[cameron shorey]

I have some old Mitchell wheels lying around. Do they count as "old school cal look" wheels?

Just taken the narrowed beam out of my car to bolt into Martins 65 so he can run his Erco's up front with the disc's  , gonna see what it looks like with the Ansen's too , if he decides against using them I'll drop you a line Joe . 
Don't suppose you know anyone who make's or can make replacement lazer cut beam end's/tower's as i dont want to tub the 65's inner arches to get the 3" narrowed beam in 

[Joe_G]

You could try Matt Keene, I seem to remember he might do them??

Who needs porn when you see that...

[Joe_G]

Not all Cal Look, not all Old School, not all in the pictures 100+ rims now, it's getting to be a bit of an addiction 









Hopefully in the New Year I'll get round to putting up some better racking to display them a bit better.

[Fonz]

Hello Joe.... what are those rims on the far left?

Are they VW pattern?

[Joe_G]

[Jon]

Another 4 stud VW wheel called Indianapolis



Always on the lookout for any 'odd' VW wheels 4 or 5 stud if anyone has anything

[Jon]

Wow!! Is it 14" or even TRX??
Who made the wheel? A set of those in 5x130 would rock my boat!

They are 14's What is TRX?
No name on them apart from Indianapolis. Could look good in a 5x130 and in 15's

[Rune]

TRX is metric sized wheels and tires

[Airborne]

there's a set of polished 13" on ebay.com right now......

This ones !
And for an amayezing price...............
99,95 $ for 4 wheels
But keep cool guys, items are sold !

The "Empi GT alloy wheels" were also marketed as "Empi GT Spyder wheels" . 8 spokes were definately made in 13" for vws. Although never mentioned in any of the catalogs..... They are pretty uncommon though. Here is a pic of one of my 13" wheels. 4x130 mm.

[speedwell]

rarest of the rarest 

[Bruce]

Sure look different from ERCOs.
Tell everyone about that set of wheel's lineage.

[Rick Meredith]

They're also kind of an odd size... I think they're 390mm. Also, the bead is at a different angle.
