I am looking for matching rears for these front Wheels,

 

20140513_094121.jpg

 

Have been searching Google Pictures for some time without luck...

 

searchwords have been Riggen / BZ / Unique / Buz Co / Ranalli + Wheel + slot.

I have also tried kidneybean, 4 spoke. but so far to no avail.

 

Can you guys help me narrow it down to one manufacturer?

 

Even better, does anyone have two matching rear rims that i can buy?

 

If i find the rears, they will go on the Kellison.

Riggen.

 

Will look to see what I have.

 

Riggen was undoubtedly the biggest wheel manufacturer in the 60s, and did an incredible variety of models... Lots of other manufacturers used their wheels/tires in fact.

Jocke, 

 

Access to my wheels is blocked for now, but will see what I have as soon as I can.

Now, I wonder if the rear rims had the same four kidney shaped holes.....

Hi Jock,

 

Yes, 4 Kidney bean holes.

 

They also came in a natural finish (no black center). The rears are not very wide .245" bead to bead, .324 outer lip to lip. 

 

Don offered first, I have a mint pair for you if you will still be needing them.  

 

:good:

Take Bob up on his offer Jocke - I've already restored two Banshees, so I know I don't have any of these left!
