They are identical to the Compomotive 3 piece wheel however the pictures you post are certainly a 1 piece wheel. Have you removed the wheel and looked on the backside for markings?

 

yes i did ...theres not even a serial #.....

 

I'm not 100% sure , but I do remember Boyd Cottington (sp) making a one piece wheel in that style a while back. ???

 

MiM Speedline did at one point

 

Are they all the same width, or are the rears wider than the fronts?

 

the rears are a little deeper then the fronts........

 

I remember a set of those on a Boxer. If these came from a car that was on eBay a year ago, I think they are the same. Possible could be Image brand. The Speedlines and Compomotives have the bolts around the edge of the rim.

 

we found a BC stamped into the inside lip,its very little letters hard to see... looks like it was there as some code maybe?

 

BC=Boyd Coddington? See previous post.
He has this show on Discovery Channel, makes HotRods

 

does he stamp the inside lip BC?...if so then i think you are right....

 

If it has the BC stamp, then I'm 100% sure they are Boyd's wheels

 

i have heard he makes great hot rods but how are his wheels?

 

Fred, did you buy this car from a guy named Dan? in Richmond? I had talked to him on that car and was seriously considering getting it. Never had time to go all the way up there to check it out. Looks nice, how do you like it?

i bought it from a guy in LARKSPUR CALIF. his name was Markcus.......yes i do like it but its a driver for sure with 120k miles on the clock...but for a driver it looks nice and does run very well,the interior has been redone,high flow cats, and nice wheels,just to name a few upgrades on this driver.....

 

Hmm... interesting. I checked the old craigslist ad I had and it has the same wheels and mileage. The guy I talked to many months ago was Dan and the car was in some warehouse in Richmond. Maybe he sold it to Marcus... Either way looks like you have a nice new toy to play with!

I looked at that car about 3 years ago in Larkspur. Looked great for the mileage..

can you tell me which local mechanic has maintained it over the years? Just curious.

 

IIR, they are billet centers which are welded to the barrels on the back side ( 2 pcs construction).
He had a program where you could design your own wheel. Send him a drawing and he'd custom mill the centers for you.

 

this car did not come with any paper at all.....but it has been taken care of,new interior,high flow cats,nice wheels,ect.....but I'm going to do a belt service ASAP,just to be on the safe side of things.......

 

He died....the wheels were billet cut....state of the art, IMO....

Total SoCal custom.......

 

Yes, Boyd Coddington died this year. His core business was custom cars and billet wheels. If those are Boyd wheels they are very good quality. They look nice on the car.

 

thank you..........

 

Fred, do you want me to email the pic of your wheel to Boyd Coddington and
have them verifies your wheels? Or if you like you can do it here just click on

Let us know what they said, thanks.
