Hi Daniel

These guys sell good quality 15x5.5 large dogdish wheels

http://classicchambered.com/classic/wheels.html

Eric Sauls is the main man and a nice guy to do business with :icon_salut:

You'd have to contact him/them for prices tho as they dont show prices of these older wheels on the website...

Good luck, Rob

There is a guy selling hup cap adapters, allows you to use old style (10" dog dish) on newer style steel wheels (small hub cap). Try e-bay item #140810313912 or call Larry 310-918-1354 It might be a more reasonable way to go.

@rzmo: thx a lot, but I need four!

@fuely62: Thanx for the tip, I've seen that "system" already.....but I'm searching for originals for my '63 Savoy Resto!

Good luck Daniel, hope you find some.

We managed to find a set a few months ago from a friend over here and were lucky that 2 of them were 6" wide (the other 2 being 5.5"). Not much different I suppose but every little helps when theyre that narrow!

Havent got any decent pics showing the side view yet but this one gives an idea...

(215/75 on front & 235/75 on rear - gotta have tall tires on these early cars!)

U got a Very nice ride, bro

Thx a lot for the information and the pic!!
