One odd wheel I have has #3659509, but I don't know what year it is from. The two NOS wheels I have have #3659714, and the guy I got them from said they were NOS from 1973. I am still trying to determine part numbers, but my parts book lists #5352. They will have the word 'FORGED' cast into the backside of the wheel. The outside face on these wheels looks okay, but they are the only cast wheels I know of that were rough-cast and not machined around the rim.Well, here ya go guys! Sparky, feel free to take this info and post this in the tech section.Īll Renegade Wheels will be 15x7, and they are Forged Aluminum. I've seen several sets of 14 by 7-inch American Dragmaster six-slot wheels, but only two pair of their 15 by 7 and 15 by 10-inch wheels. As far as I know, this is the only style of wheel they ever made other than a Torq-Thrust copy. Ansen five-spokes were only produced with rounded, as opposed to peaked or creased, spokes.Īnother company, American Dragmaster, produced a unique version of the aluminum slot wheel, using a rounded, bowl-shaped face with six slots. Another Ansen five-spoked wheel used a center cap that interchanged with American Racing caps. Instead, Ansen used their own smaller, round center caps (along the lines of the caps used on the American Racing 200-S 'daisy' wheels).

This design was later copied by many wheel companies, including American Racing Equipment, Cragar, Fenton, Mickey Thompson, Superior, and US Indy.Īll Ansen wheels were made of aluminum and had their name cast into them.Īnsen produced some five-spoked wheels were unique in having no provision for the standard five-screw, bullet-shaped center caps that were originated by American Racing Equipment. They were produced on a tracer lathe and shipped in their natural, machined finish.Īnsen Sprints featured five slots in the side of the wheel. The Sprint was the first 'aluminum slot' wheel, being centrifugally cast, a technique seldom used in the wheel industry back then. The most popular Ansen wheel was the Ansen Sprint, which was introduced in 1963. Ansen Automotive was started in 1948 in Los Angeles, by Lou Senter.Ī gifted mechanic and engineer, Senter produced an extensive line of innovative speed equipment that included pop-up pistons, competition shifters, and the first NHRA-approved bellhousings. But I remember that the Ol' man really wanted to run Ansen Sprints on the race car. I would have just thrown a number out there. Click to expand.I stole this information here.
