Trying to determine what these rims are and how old they are? I have a friend that has them. If they are vintage I might buy them. 
I have seen these rims before at Tri-State last year on one of the cars..
- Thread starter 1964SuperStocker
- Start date
Check the back side there may be a manufacturer name and part number cast into them if it is Motor Wheel Co. they're definitely vintage,they made a wheel very similar to those.There may not be a name just a logo,the motor wheel logo will look like an M superimposed over a W inside what looks like a circle but is actually a C.
I went through the race list. Nothing rang a bell.

Those appear to be ultra wheels

The ultra 50/51 to be exact
The cheap caps on them did say ULTRA but I wasn't sure if that meant old or new.
What was the red 1963 Impala with the aluminum front clip running for rims?
Ralph?
Back in the day they were called radir's or raider's by M/T I can't remember,but now they are reproduced by Rocket wheels,Hurst also marketed a similar looking wheel but the spoke portion was gold colored,the hurst wheels were an aluminum spider riveted to a chrome steel rim,the M/T's may have been too that was pretty common back then,I do know they are some cool looking wheels.
I was hoping the ones I found were old school. I have several Ansen's laying around but not a huge fan. If I'm going to run something for front runners then I might as well buy something new I really like. Not sure which one I'll pick yet.
