Has anybody? Halibrand Kidney Bean, Magcoat
Has anybody installed Halibrand Kidney Bean wheels either 5 or 6 lug in the Magcaot finish? Magcaot is not fully polished. These are similar to a crager wheel and a vintage Halibrand which I believe was called Bonneville spindel.
If so did you go with 16 or 17 and how wide? Photos please. Thank you |

Yes they are, and Halibrand's aren't cheap either!

Re: Has anybody? Halibrand Kidney Bean, Magcoat
Thanks Bobby
Looks like sizes are unlimited. Looks like an equal mix of 6 lug and 5 lug wheels out there. I'm liking the spinner look. Make them look like the OLD RACE wheel that were spindle mounted. I think that when Halibrand made these in the 1950(s) they were called Bonnieville Spindels and used NO LUG NUTS. Just a spindel mount. |

As far as I know, Halibrand is the ony manafacturer to offer a 6-lug version of the kidney bean wheel, but they are $$expensive$$. You could convert to 5 lug and use the American Racing Salt Flat wheel for less money. Also, you don't want a spindle mounted wheel do you? You won't have any front brakes that way.
