wheels on David Thomas car?

Jim Caughlin · 09-25-2017, 02:41 PM

Can someone tell me what wheels are on David Thomas' Challenger? They look like the old Motor Fly wheels but those haven't been built in decades. Is someone making a new version of that wheel?

Very astute of you to pick up the Motor Fly finish. You can contact Mike Pustelny at MPR Race Cars (810-798-8998). He coordinated the first couple of sets for his and Dave's car. He can get any size, bolt pattern, and offset.

The original Flys were manufactured and sold by Motor Wheel, so they would have been referred to as Motor Wheel Flys.

Those look like the Drag-On Stars Bogart use to make.

Well if you are talking about the V10 with the Ramchargers lettering down the side - they are Bogarts with a custom Mopar "M" logo on one of the spokes..

Eric is correct
