Veteran Car Rims

The re-manufacture of historic wheel rims was started in 1989 when Brian Black of Christchurch New Zealand was looking for rims for his own restorations.  Brian founded the company and invested his time and passion into growing it into what has become an internationally recognised specialist rim manufacturer. The Black family continued to run the company until the end of March 2022, when the business was sold to Chris and Matt Wedgwood and has been relocated to Great Britain. We intend to maintain the name, product and quality that the Black family created.

UPDATE - Veteran Car Rims limited is pleased to announce the addition of Hayes Wheels products, this company was formed around 1970 by Elster C Hayes and operated out of Oakcrest Machine shop, Springfield Ohio ever since. The business changed hands several times in recent years and in December 2023 we were able to purchase all remaining stock, machinery and intellectual property from Hayes Wheels.

Elster had gathered a lot of information regarding makes and types of rims used by different automotive manufactures and had compiled a comprehensive library. Although he did venture into rolled rims, it is fair to say that Veteran Car Rims in NZ pursued this route further. Hayes Wheels went down the route of producing the range of de-mountable rims, which are machined rather than rolled from flat stock.

Having now acquired this capability Veteran Car Rims can now announce that it can supply almost any rim you may require from drawing or sample, including Firestone, Hayes, Booth, Jaxon and Stanweld rims to name just a few.
