Wheelie Frustrating!

Thunderlugs · May 2, 2017

I know this topic has been covered,...But I was hoping for yet another perspective on a solution. Its OE style wheels for early 62-67 B Bodies, BUT,,,, in a 15 inch,,,,, that allows for fitment of the earlier ( Larger) poverty cap! I have called every wheel company, and none but one makes it.. ( Stockton wheels) They want $185 per wheel (Custom made) then $150 to ship to the Midwest. Crazy! I know I want this particular look, but at $900?? Does Anyone Have any good leads on a company, vendor, or any other solution to stay on this course? Lots of Great Members Here! Looking to tap the Braintrust!! Thanks

I am also looking at this for my '63. I had heard of someone offering a snap-or-twist on collar to fit around the newer 9" rim centers, that would accept the older, larger 10" caps ? I haven't come up with any solid leads on this, but would also appreciate any input.

**** I just tossed a pair from a Canadian 59 Regent...

They were 15" x 6" with large bolt pattern

I couldn't give em away and I had tried for 6 months!

Sorry man if I'd known last Wednesday... they are long gone now

This may sound like a bit of a hack but have you considered cutting the big ring out of some 14" wheels and grafting them to the 15s? Shouldn't be to tuff. And of you had a friend with a lathe it'd be a snap.

Here is What Sucks.....Bassett Wheels is no more than 5 miles away from me, and every time I call no one returns my call. If I could speak with some one?? I will keep trying. Just bitching!!

You might try finding the '60's Dodge truck wheels, they are 15 inch with the late center.
