Beautiful rims. Loved them since ice cube good day video..is it true Dayton need checking every do often to tighten spokes , & can they pop off if not check for loosen spokes..thanks
Hey Lamar, By OTD--what are you referring to? If you mean off the rack wire wheels (sometimes referred to as "China's" as that's where they're made), the difference is Daytons are custom built in the United States. American built wheels (like Daytons) use different metals, Daytons are stainless steel, while chinas are regular steel; which means Chinas are more prone to rust. Call us here at the shop for more info!
@@YahwayorNoway Ah, thank s for clarifying. Last time we spoke with Dayton we were told they no longer make the bigger size wire wheel hub that they once made (for larger vehicles, like an Escalade). The one ton Dayton wheels have a different number of spokes and are designed for heavier weight vehicles. I don't have a OTD wheel here so I can compare the size of the hub.
Any suggestions I bought a set of fwd wire wheels for my car but didn’t pay attention that they were fwd I have 85 cutlass trying to see what adapter to use ??
Probably a dumb question . So a Dayton is only determined by the cap ?! Are zeniths original daytons ? Or two complete things , , I’m confused and how long before gold fades and how much to repaint ? Looking to purchase but I’ve seen people selling fakes
@The Truth: Great questions. Dayton and Zenith are both wire wheel manufacturers. Zenith is no longer in business--so only replicas are made also referred to as "Chinas". Dayton still manufacturers American Made stainless steel wire wheels with American Chrome. You will pay fo9r Dayton quality. All gold plated wheels are electroplated. If you electroplate on stainless steel spokes (as in a Dayton), rusting is minimal, and therefore the gold may last longer. Call us for more info!
Dayton wire wheels will have a build or serial number to identify them. But most spokes out on the road are not Daytons. Bring em by, if we see them, we can usually tell
I want to get a set of probably 17 inch wire wheels for my 2011 Chevy Impala, and get the Impala cap on them of course. Any recommendations on websites to get them where I know they’ll fit on my car? Thank you!
Appreciate the video! Curious to know why wire wheels offsets are standard/reverse when other wheels actually have +/- number offsets(ex. et35 etc etc). I would say that is the style of wheel. I've looked all over for the actual offsets of reverse wire wheel for fitment purposes. Do you have this information? 18x8 reverse in particular. Thanks!
This is something much easier to explain in person! Are you local? Can you drop by our shop to discuss? If not, please call us at 415-558-9121, ask for Adam or Mario
@@RollingStock i'm not, just doing research at this time. From what ive read they are negative offsets--- just need some numbers to figure out setup, spacers, hubrings etc
Are the adaptors typically hubcentric? I've seen a few videos of folks installing and the adaptors always have some play to them. Curious if its a matter of them not sourcing the right size or they simply come in a one size fits all config. Appreciate any feedback ya'll can give. Cheers!
If you're going for the low rider look, most common tire size used with that size wheel is a 175/70/14. If that's not the look you're going for, call me and I will give you more size options
@b boy luda A standard offset wheel has the mounting pad in the center of the wheel. A reverse mount has the mounting pad at the rear (inside) of the wheel, and therefore has a bigger lip. Most lowriders have reversed offset
I have some chrome and gold 22 inch real Daytons i bought years ago form my cuz to slap on my 1996 ford f150 problem is that the adapter is 6 lugs and mine are 5 lug i have some 20 inch wires on it but my adapter is not wide enough to fit the dayton wheels. Think i could get adapter that same diameter to fit the wheel and my 5lug?
If you drive s l o w, they can handle any power. If you stomp on it, you could rip the spokes away from the hub and or the barrel. Imagine a spoked bicycle wheel, now imagine what would happen if you apply 500HP all at once--wire wheels are similarly constructed
Can you guys get custom center chips with the letter A in old English calligraphy? And what's the cost to have a set of 18s in gold pearl over cream white and gold 100wire spoke centers
Hey bro, I might need some help on some custom spokes I have a picture of the style I want I’m looking for some 17s with mustard & Mayo vogue tires it’s for a 70 Thunderbird .
How many spokes are the super swept ? And how much for the 17 inch with tires I got a guy but checking elsewhere , and hub and knockoff should be stamped correct don’t want no china shit ? I text they said they would get back to me and never did js tho
@@joserobinson8419 Hey Jose, Zeniths are no longer made. We DO sell centerchips that say Zenith, if you want. Most wire wheels are made in China. There are some made in the US, known as "American" wire wheels. We can get you American wire wheels, prices on American are much higher than "Chinas"
Hmmm, where I’m from we call those standard and reversed 20’s we call clown shit. And “center pieces” aka wheel chips. But I don’t need to tell you that since you are the one with the rim shop. Bwahaha 😂🤣😂🤣
