Guest Johnny Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I voted for "Like Them" but that is when they are used on the right vehicle. Sometimes they are just out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I don't see how this is a recent trend- I've seen photos of hot rods from the late '40's and '50's running artillery wheels. Maybe they're more popular now than they were then, but there have always been artillery wheels on hot rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustym Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I am due to pick up a 35 dodge from my stepdad and it comes with them. I like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The Rodder's Journal did a feature on "artillery" or "milk truck" wheels a couple of years ago. If I recall correctly (IIRC) the dry lakes and salt flats racers used them to "overdrive" their transmissions a little since they were larger than the stock passenger vehicle wheels of the time so they could get a little extra top-end speed out of their cars. Now, of course, they're purely aesthetic. They do have a cool retro look that I like. Jimmy Shine's 34 Ford has a one-off set he built...

Wagoneer81 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I like them. Especially on heavier, vintage vehicles like 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
