Cast vs Pressed wheels

Old Bob · Oct 1, 2012

I have a Super 88 Oliver that I would like to pull with. Not interested in anything but to keep it pretty well like it is. Have a set of cast and also a set of pressed. Going to have to buy new tires either way I go. This is my first shot at pulling. Which way do I need to go. Thanks in advance.

Many thing come into play on one like that. I did my first and only pull with my S88 and ran in 1st gear big mistake and was 150lbs light which was also a no no and got 4th place that way and got beat out from 1st place by 6 inches. Best find out what the rules are and go from there plus some say you have to be stock so again what was stock for that year of S88 mine had the cast from the factory

Mine has cast on it now, and I am betting it was this way from the factory.

Again goes to the rules of each pull as to what you can or can not use. My S88 has the cast centers on it but my 77 has the pressed wheels. The 77 is a 1950 and the S88 is a 1955
