Jackmans wheels (not the Subaru made wagon wheels)


Recommended Posts

Ok so this post did not render much response in the "shop talk" forum, so I figure it will generate more here. I am trying to do some legitimate

evaluation/research on Jackmans. In particular 14in flat spoke. But also Jackmans as a whole.

 

I am going to add one more question to the original four as well.

 

Thanks for all your help in advance

 

Just doing a little personal research, for my own personal knowledge.

 

Below is the original post, save for the "5 part question" it originally said "4 part question"

 

This is going to be a 5 part question.

 

Who here owns Jackmans?

 

Who here owns a set of Jackmans?

 

Who here owns 13inch Jackmans?

 

Who here owns a set of 14inch Jackmans?

 

What is the estimated value of a set of good condition 14inch Jackmans?

 

Set = 4

I'll have to look, but I think I have 3 full sets, maybe some extras. Sold a set with a car a year or so back as well. All 13's.

 

Also, as a FYI for anyone who's not sure, Jackmans were the flat ones with a "J" stamped on one of the spokes. They were not curved like the EA81 and EA82 wagon spoke wheels.

I merged the threads together and edited the first post to be the "new" one.

 

as far as estimated value of the 14" set, I would say that 10 years ago there was probably a greater interest in them, but in the last 10 years there's been a drastic change in tires available in 14" size.

 

I bought my 2 14" jackmans for $135 (from Spokane) and have been watching for more of them since 2005 and haven't seen any...

I would have paid big money to complete my set or buy a full set, but now I don't even have anything that's 4x140....

 

there was another member (in AZ I think) who had some on his Gen1 Brat with lift, but I haven't seen him in a while, and never saw a good pic of them...

 

"Legend has it" that they were part of the special package sold in 79 or so for the Gen1 Brat. Package included a lift kit and wheels.

 

But if you're selling, mark me as interested :) I'm still thinking one day I'll lift a Gen1 Brat.... :lol:

jackmans are pretty much flat side to side... and thicker steel...

 

here's a comparison of the ea81/ea82 wagon wheels.

THIS^^^^^

 

Which also means, the ea81/ea82 spoke wheels ARE NOT JACKMANS!!!

 

It seems there is some confusion about this.

 

The Jackmans are FLAT spokes.
