  • Chris Coddington Wheels

    Heres a shot of the polished Rudge Knock-offs that Chris makes, 5" x 15" . I had them on my 60 with 175/70hr/15 Vredesteins. Beautiful wheels, excellent run-out, nicely balanced.

    First off this is a georgious 356! The wheels really are the icing on the cake max! These look like true "knock-offs" and not caps. Looks way too small to house lugnuts under there. Are you using original mount hubs or did you have a set fabricated as well? Tire combo looks real nice too though they are a bit washed out from the shadows to really see them clearly. I would have guessed them to be 65 series tires but 70's are all that much better for final drive rpm range on the HWY. You still own this car don't you Max? Beautiful car! Justin

        Oh, You kept the wide five pattern; very sneaky and it just looks perfect! I'm impressed! very nice design job all the way! You had it all; the look of Rudge without all the unsprung weight issues associated with them not to mention the cost of an original set. Is this the only set like this? Nice work max!

          Yes, JT and Max, those are great wheels. JT, they may be rare, but not one of a kind. Have seen a 356C version. Very cool!!

            Hey Steve, Thanks! Max had emailed me and said there were a few sets running around but not many. I would think there will more call, They are a beautiful wheel!

              Does anyone make a 16 wide 5 bolt pattern, but with variable widths? Even 17 would work .
              Similar to the staggered versions offered on newer cars, I am seeking to 'tub' the rear end. Of my car without modifying the bodywork. Fatties and skinnies, bigs n littles.
              The Spyder 550 hot rod replicas would benefit from such a product. I see the fuch rim has been replicated now in every size shape and material from 15x4.5 to 17x?
