Description: Build time is about 16 weeks. eBay has an unrealistic time line. Please email and ask questions BEFORE purchase. WE HAVE QUESTIONS. DON'T ASSUME WE KNOW WHAT YEAR AND MODEL YOU HAVE. TRY TO CALL. Look at photos carefully for info. PEAK SEASON... About 16 week build time. Shipping takes about 5-10 days after wheels are built. Metal is hard to get, people don’t want to work, and some companies have a one-year wait. We’re still doing it! If others prices seem low.... there is a reason for it. We are fairly priced. PROUDLY SELLING OUR AMERICAN HAND MADE WIRE WHEELS FOR 32 YEARS EACH WHEEL IS PERSONALLY INSPECTED, SIGNED, PHOTOGRAPHED, DATED, BOXED AND SHIPPED BY DOC SAB. NOBODY ELSE DOES THIS QUALITY CONTROL! If a company offers tire packages... HANG UP!! That means they are NOT making wire wheels.. they are just middlemen. WE MAKE WIRE WHEELS. We DO NOT SELL TIRES!! You can't make tires and wire wheels. If they sell tires... the wheels are HIGHLY unlikely to be AMERICAN MADE! We make the wheels. It's costs over $1,800 just to chrome a set of 4... SO.. how could they sell them for less than us.. especially if they are middlemen?? Well they can't.. not if THEY actually make them... HERE.. in the USA! Please don't call us to try and get us to down SPECIFIC companies... NOT OUR STYLE. WE CAN ONLY TELL YOU WHAT GENERAL PRACTICES ARE... AND WHAT WE DO. DON'T BE FOOLED BY A CHEAP PRICE!! Ebay has recently raised it's final value fee to 10% including shipping. And Paypal charges 4.4%. ... this equates to the seller having to eat $810 dollars in fees. Doesn't this seem excessive? We are a small American company. We almost can't compete with companies that use NON American supplies. Please support AMERICAN companies. We make a really excellent product. We make a very small profit in order to compete.... WE WILL NOT CUT CORNERS! MAC DADDY WIRE WHEELS PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFORMATIVE NARRATIVE BELOW... IT WILL SURPRISE YOU. MAC DADDY WIRE WHEELS WAS THE FIRST CLASSIC WIRE WHEEL SELLER ON EBAY. WE HAVE BEEN SELLING WIRE WHEELS ON EBAY FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR OUR PRODUCT. WE ARE THE ORIGINALS! QUESTION?? HOW COULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO MAKE A THUNDERBIRD WIRE WHEEL AND PAY AN AMERICAN WAGE.. AND PAY FOR THE STEEL AND CHROMING.. AND STILL MAKE A FAIR PROFIT FOR UNDER 2,950? ANSWER.. YOU CAN'T...NOT FOR 4 WHEELS ...4 METAL CAPS...... AND 4 EMBLEMS. IF IT'S CHEAPER.. IT'S QUITE POSSIBLY NOT AMERICAN.. IT COSTS US OVER 1300 DOLLARS TO CHROME A SET OF 4 RIMS, 4 HUBS, 224 SPOKES ( IN SOME CASES STAINLESS SPOKES ARE USED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE ON CERTAIN SIZES), 448 NIPPLES, AND 4 METAL SPINNER HUB CAPS. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE STEEL...AND PAY A ROYALTY ON THE EMBLEMS. WE ALSO HAVE TO PAY OUR WHEEL MASTERS A REAL WAGE FOR THEIR ART. WE PROFIT VERY LITTLE FOR OUR HARD WORK.... AND WE TRY TO COMPETE WITH THE CHINESE... AND IT'S HARD... THEY PAY PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR. AMERICAN MADE WHEELS. OUR WHEELS ARE MADE HERE IN AMERICA. WE DON'T USE CHINESE STEEL. OUR WHEELS ARE NOT JUST ASSEMBLED HERE. WE CAN'T SAY WHO DOES OR DOESN'T USE INFERIOR PARTS. WE NEVER SPEAK NEGATIVELY ABOUT BRAND NAMES. WE CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT WHAT WE DO.... AND WE ONLY MAKE WHEELS USING THE BEST QUALITY. YOUR 4 WHEELS ORDER COMES COMPLETE. NOTHING ELSE NEEDED TO BUY. Wheels... caps and emblems. IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ORDER TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT PURCHASING A WIRE WHEEL... 1) OUR WHEELS ARE NOT CHINESE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. THE METAL IS NOT POROUS JUNK. HAVE YOU EVER BOUGHT A CHEAP POCKET KNIFE.. AND LOOKED AT THE BLADE? WELL THAT'S THE STUFF THE CHINESE USE TO MAKE THEIR WHEELS AND SPOKES. THIS IS ALSO WHY SOME OTHER COMPETITORS CAN SELL THEIR WHEELS FOR A BIT LESS THEN OURS... SOME CLAIM THEIR WHEELS ARE MADE HERE.. BUT.. WHAT THEY ARE REALLY SAYING IS THAT THEY ARE ASSEMBLED HERE.. AND ARE USING CHINESE METAL... AND A CHINESE HUB. THIS IS A HIDDEN FACT!!! 2) WE TRIPLE and QUADRUPLE PLATE EACH INDIVIDUAL PART BEFORE THE WHEEL IS BUILT, AND THE STEEL IS POLISHED TO A MIRROR LIKE FINISH BEFORE PLATING.. IT IS NON POROUS IN APPEARANCE.. AND AS SMOOTH AS SILK BEFORE WE PLATE. WE USE LOW LUSTER NICKEL FOR THE FIRST PLATE... HIGH LUSTER FOR THE SECOND NICKEL PLATE... THEN WE DOUBLE DIP EACH INDIVIDUAL PIECE IN HIGH LUSTER CHROME FOR A SUPER HIGH QUALITY FINISH. EACH PIECE IS THEN POLISHED AND THEN INSPECTED BEFORE WE BUILD YOUR WHEEL. 4 DUNKS!! FEW IF ANY OTHER COMPANY IN THE WORLD DOES THIS. THIS IS THE CADILLAC V 16 TREATMENT .. EVEN BETTER THAN THE ROLLS ROYCE TREATMENT. (SEVERAL COMPETITORS BUILD THEIR WHEELS FIRST... AND THEN DUNK THE ENTIRE WHEEL ONCE... THIS IS CALLED FLASH PLATING. IT LOOKS GREAT FOR 3 MONTHS... IT'S COMMERCIAL PLATING. )PLEASE NOTE... IN HUMID CLIMATES, STAINLESS STEEL SPOKES SHOULD BE PREFERRED. 3) AFTER THE WHEEL IS BUILT... WE TRUE EACH WHEELS SPOKES AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS ROUND. WE USE A SUPERIOR SPOKE.. ONE THAT HAS A SMOOTH AND ROUNDED BASE. sO THERE CAN NEVER BE TUBE PUNCTURE. tHEN WE WRAP THE UNDERSIDE IN PLUMBERS TAPE TO CREATE EVEN FURTHER DISTANCE AND PROTECTION FOR YOUT TUBE. 4) LIP LACE STYLE WHEELS, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE INHERENT WHEEL DESIGN.... REQUIRE RADIAL TUBES! 5) ALL OF OUR CAPS ARE METAL....( NOT PLASTIC.. OR CHEAP SCRAP METAL.) 6) ALL EMBLEMS ARE LICENSED ... CHOICE OF COLORS.. RED, BLUE, BLACK, GREEN AND CHROME. 7) SIX TIMES INSPECTED. A) WE INSPECT THE METAL. B) WE INSPECT THE CHROME. C) WE INSPECT THE POLISHING D) WE INSPECT THE ROUND AND TRUENESS OF EACH WHEEL. E) WE INSPECT THE SPOKES AND TAPING. ( NO OTHER COMPANY IN THE INDUSTRY DOES THIS... AND YOU KNOW.. THE CHINESE DON'T.) 8) OUR WHEELS ARE MADE TO FIT. YOUR SKIRTS WILL FIT ON YOUR CAR WITH THE CORRECT SIZE TIRE. THUNDERBIRD WHEELS ARE SO VERY DIFFERENT BETWEEN 1955-1967. WE MAKE EACH YEAR WHEEL YEAR SPECIFIC!!! (IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE CORRECT SIZE TIRE BE USED FOR PROPER FACTORY FITMENT. OVER SIZED TIRES MAY INTERFERE WITH SKIRTS... REMEMBER, WIRE WHEELS HAVE 1/2 INCH DIFFERENT OFFSETS THEN A FACTORY STEEL WHEEL... THIS IS KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WHEEL INDUSTRY.. THIS IS BECAUSE A WIRE WHEELS STRENGTH POINT IS NOT THE SAME AS A SOLID WHEEL... YOU KNOW THE COMPETITORS DON'T KNOW THIS). WHEN ORDERING... PLEASE SPECIFY THE YEAR AND COLOR EMBLEM YOU DESIRE!!!WE HAVE BLACK..BLUE...RED...GREEN AND CHROME... THE CHROME HAS NO BIRD ON IT.. IT IS PLAIN. OPTIONS.. A) YOU CAN SUPER UPGRADE TO STAINLESS STEEL SPOKES FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1000 MORE A SET. WE DON'T USE CHEAP STAINLESS AS A COME ON. WE USE HAND CUT STAINLESS SPOKES. B) 5TH WHEELS FOR CONTINENTAL KITS OR SPARES ARE AVAILABLE... ADD $525. (SHIPPING ON THIS INCLUDED.)

FOR ANSWERS TO ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS! EXAMPLE.. 2 GORGEOUS CARS... PARKED IN A DEALERS LOT... BOTH LOOK IDENTICAL FROM THE OUTSIDE... BOTH HAVE TRICK WHEELS.. TINTS AND ARE THE SAME COLOR.... HOWEVER... ONE CAR HAS AN ALL POWER INTERIOR... A/C... IPOD STEREO ADAPTER...SATELLITE NAVIGATION... A HIGH COMPRESSION ENGINE.. AN INCREDIBLE STEREO...RUST PROTECTION... UNDER COATING AND MORE.
