On my new build I would like to use some wire wheels for the front. Do they make a wire wheel with 4 3/4" pattern? Not wanting to spend a fortune on them, so looking for older wheels if possible.
 
You might find them in something like a Cragar Starwire, but nothing old or narrow. 4 3/4 didn't come around until '49. Here is a pic of a Starwire. They can be found cheap enough, especially if the chrome is flaking. They would work on a rear but would be too wide for frontrunners.

if you want orignal wheels you will need to buy adapters to convert them, so the choice is spend money on wheels that fit (new) or buy old for cheeper and pay for adapters to make them work, either way you will spend some cash to get the look you want, check out my last thread we covered alot of info in this one and a lot of help from all the guys, they have so much info stored in there minds, its crazy.
