They are used on off road cars. I am almost certain they are still made. They also came in bead lock models. Look at any hotVWs featured stadium racer, serious baja, rock crawler or trophy truck and they use those wheels. They can be very expensive too.

I almost bought that exact same wheel at Vegas last weekend. I passed it up, and Jimmy got it. They were made for offroad. A clone is still made, but I hear the quality isnt the same.

That picture gives it too much justice. That wheel looks like Ass in person. They should only be put on sand rails, and maybe hose reals Wink

I like these wheels plenty! Real Starsky and Hutch looks! But the front wheels have to much positive offset. Might have to get a set of these, to many BRM cars here in Norway. Hmmmmm.... red car with a white stripe!!  Grin Grin Wink

Put those on your car, paint it orange and put a big "01" on the door, confederate flag on the roof and Boss Hog and Roscoe P. Coltrane will be all over your ass.  Grin
