Re: Dan Gurney rims

I remember them, but don't know anything to share. I know there were other styles and Gurney had his name on other products. Carroll Shelby and Mickey Thompson went farther into speed accessories than Gurney, but there are other products with his name on them. Ever heard of a Dan Gurney motorcycle? How about a Dan Gurney Saleen Mustang? He and Shelby actually teamed up to built American race cars in the early '60s.

Re: Dan Gurney rims

If anyone is interested, there was also this style. They mostly targeted sports cars since he was a road racer at heart. Pretty sure Cragar also offered this style. I'm pretty sure Gurney wheels were made by someone else and marketed by his company
