Western Wheel Company?

Anybody know of any history on Western wheels? I have a set of turbin made by Western but when I google it, nothing. Says the were bought out by Kelsey Hayes but thats all I know. When you look on E-bay, their expensive wheels. Thanks

Re: Western Wheel Company?

They were a custom wheel company back in the 70's. They made cool stuff, first with aftermarket KO vette wheels I think. I have a buddy with turbines on his 442,they look great.

Prices are up there as they would have been the custom pieces people were putting on muscle cars and hot rods back in the day. So I guess they are like nostalgic custom parts.
