How our Wheels are Constructed
All of our wheels are rolled from one piece of sheet steel. They are never cut apart and made wider by welding steel bands together, a process that makes truing and balancing a wheel difficult. Our bare wheels are not primed. They come to you as raw, cold-rolled steel that's ready to paint. Although we do leave them with an oily finish to prevent damage from dampness. We assemble the wheels as they're ordered. All of our wheels are hand-turned prior to the final welding of the center to the rim to assure complete accuracy. And all of our hubcaps (with the exception of the Moons) are made in Los Angeles, California, and are of superior quality and fit. The Moons are made in Taiwan, but are of the same superior quality - a perfect finish and luster that will not rust.
Wheel Backspacing Charts
All wheels may be ordered using the backspace guideline charts below, but remember to measure your installation carefully. Reversed wheels have rims turned around on the centers which allows for less backspace and deeper front space.

How to Determine what Wheel Size fits your Vehicle
Following is a simple method to determine what size wheel will fit your vehicle. This method will work on both stock front and/or rear ends, or those that have been modified (widened or narrowed).
Let's say you want an 8" wheel in back and 6" in front. (1) Jack up your front or rear end and remove the wheel. (2) Cut a strip of wood 9" long (overall width of proposed 8" wheel) and hold the wood in the fender where you know the wheel would clear everything (allow about 1" clearance on either side for "tire bulge"). (3) The amount of wood that extends back past the drum/rotor face would be the backspace to order. (4) Try the same at the front with a 7" wood strip (overall width for a 6" wheel) to determine the backspace and clearance at the front.
