Man they sure are popular. Today's MAFCA 'A' of the Day (8-1-2017) has a group of guys touring out in the NW and all five A's have '35 rims

I don't have a problem with that, it's a bolt-on and no different than all the Mustangs and Chevelles and the like back in '69 that were running Cragar S/S's doesn't take away from the value of the car.

Just got me to thinking that there should be a plentiful supply of GOOD '35 Ford rims about. Ford sold a million new cars in '35 it was a stellar year for them even with a Depression still lingering on. Bolt pattern same as Model A and you don't have the weird sizes of say a '32 Ford with 18" tires and rims.

I actually prefer the stock look with stock rims and tires myself but I'm mostly stock still have most of my original parts

What say you guys?? Comments??
