1966 Coronet 14" Large Dog Dish Wheels

kb67mopar · Feb 22, 2012

Ok guys I have a question. I've got a set (5 or 6) 14" wheels for the large dog dish caps. To my understanding these are getting pretty hard to find and mine are in excellent condition for their age, pretty much no rust anywhere and still wearing their original rubber. I called up a place and they charge $150/wheel sand blasted. What should I be asking for these things each? I want to be fair on price but don't want to get ripped either.

Thanks in advance for the opinions.

5" or 5.5" makes a big difference
5 guide hole or 2 guide holes (66 variations)

i don't think the 14x5 wheels have a real market, unless you find somebody doing a restoration. the 15x5 1/2 wheels are sought after.

They are not overly hard to find each, but it IS especially difficult to find a truly matched set.

Unfortunately they are still pretty cheap unless a 66 Hemi owner is looking for them.

I almost asked you about these, but didn't want to fool with shipping.

My plan was to transplant the centers into 15x7 5th Ave rims.

$150 is way, WAY too much.

i've heard of the 15x5 1/2 going for $75 apiece. i think if you can get $25 apiece for them be happy. the 14" is the stumbling block. tires are getting hard to find and 5" is pretty narrow for a modern tire. just my 2 cents. maybe somebody will chime in with a different opinion.

there's a 15x5.5 Mopar wheel in my trunk, small 9" cap size, 68 & newer I guess. How to identify what it came from?
I'm using 15x6 front and 15x8 rear, was going to use the 5.5 for a spare but if someone could use it?

i think hemi and six-pak cars were 15x6. i've seen 15x5.5 sets sell for $150. they may have came off a c-body, not sure. the 15x5.5's i was referring to were the mid 60's large hub cap truck wheels.

14" tires are almost impossible to locate unless someone has some that are used from several years ago. I have factory 14" rims on my 63 but I have seen them sell for $10.00 each. For what he wants to blast them you could build your own cabinet and blast them yourself.
