Tri Fan

Not only was Boyd Coddington responsible for creating the world’s first made to order custom wheel business, but one of his most iconic designs was also a first. The Tri Fan was the world’s first 3 spoke true directional wheel. This one of a kind wheel was featured on the @mitsubishimotors powered Aluma Coupe and spawned several variations like the Ninja featured on the iconic 1957 custom Chezoom. Attached are some other rare variations of the Tri Fan.
