Re: Hust Wheels
I wonder if He's paying Hurst for the right to make them.

He may be getting around the copyright by making the wheels slightly different from the original in shape or maybe not offering the center caps. I'm curious if he's using the Hurst name in his description. He also may have the rights to market the wheel. Who knows. I wonder if this is how "Radir" wheels are doing their copies of the original "Rader" wheels. The wheels are sightly different from the originals in shape and also construction and they took out the e in the name Rader and replaced it with an i. I'm sure somone, somewhere, own the rights to the original Rader name and tools and it may be locked up legally. Cragar wheels had a lawsuit against some of the other wheel companies (Rocket & Appliance namely) back in the '70's over the SS design but lost because the wheels offered by those companies while looking very close had enough differnce in shape to be called different. FYI Cragar SS was for Super Stock obviously. Appliance also called theirs SS but said it stood for "Super Spoke". Crafty Crafty!! |

Re: Hust Wheels
Don't know how I messed that one up. I'll take the way out most Americans do... It's not my fault. My dog jumped up at me while typing to cause me to lose my train of thought.
Can I sue my dog obedience trainer for causing this to happen? Their at fault of course, if they did their job this would not have happned. |

I used to know the relationship between M/T and Rader but have forgotton it. I do know Sears and Roebuck sold either Rader or M/T wheels, not sure which one either. Where did you end up getting your NOS set? They look good on cars from 63-66 era or street rods. |
