I just found out who makes em, Esajian Wheels in Torrance, CA.

Spendy

but oh so worth it.

mmmmmmmag wheels

This is why I want to sell my truck. I can't afford to make it this nice and I don't want a "rat rod". Thing deserves the whole 9 yards and I have to leave it outside

That wagon is a 67 and although the wheels are nice, the Americans it had on it when we sold it to him were even nicer. The current rims are from Esajian Wheels in Torrance, CA. 17x7 front, 18x10 rear. The car is an original 390 Fairlane wagon but when it was built it got put in a 428 shortblock with D2TE heads, a heavy duty C6 and 4 wheel disc brakes. It has Granada upper control arms, 71/3 Mustang front brakes, and Versaille rearend and you should have been there the day we found out that Fairlane wagons have the spring perches in a different location than a hardtop or sedan. The car also carries a custom built tilt steering column that most people mistake for an original option (tilt was not available). The car was originally built for my business partners wife but she never really drove it much and was sold last year to make way for a 70 Cougar project. Hawkrod

I have never seen a Fairlane Squire before. Both those wagons are sweet.

I've seen those before, but definitely not in the last 15 years or so. Man, that's a great looking car.

I have to admit that the car does look fantastic with the woodgrain. despite 7 years of agonizing labor, several paint repairs, and a ton of other amazing work done to the car I was never able to get Steve motivated to finish the trim and get it installed. The guy who bought the car (his wife actually bought it for him as a present) made finishing the trim a requirement of sale and so it finally got done! Isn't it funny that sometimes getting rid of a car is what gets it finished? My convertible Cougar was the same way. Hawkrod

I am going to put a set of 17 x 7's and 17 x 9's on my 65 and need to know what kind of back spacing is required, any one know?

Hey Rider what back have you got on the 65?

Phil, you have to watch those soft lip rims, as they don't have the steps in the outer rim, they bend easy if you hit a kerb or pot hole! do look nice tho!.

Alan,

I have a long bed with the stock rear end and I beam fron end 2 wd with 5 x 5 1/2. I am hoping to go 17 x 7 up front and 17 x 9 in the rear.
