Cheater Slicks!

[Steve009]

just got my Radir 15x8.2 cheater slicks in today! Can't wait for this damn Canadian winter to be over so I can mount them. On that note, I'm still looking for some pre-67 15x5.5 steel mopar wheels if anyone has a pair (A100 van type).

I think I can still hook you up with a guy in Oregon that has the wheels but he wants a small fortune for a pair of them. I'll have to check my old emails. I'm not parting with any of mine right now.

I'd be interested to know what he's asking for them

Wow ok I'll keep that one in my back pocket. I know they are rare but that's a little rich for my blood considering I still have to get them widened and powder coated. I appreciate you asking though.

 

[Rick Carson]

If we have them,Usually 100.00 ea Canadian, blasted and epoxy coated, plus shipping

I agree 100%. I'm used to paying $25-$50 from the junk yards and will rarely pay more.

These guys specialize in factory wheels. Pricy too.

And there's Speedway Motors that have a recreated facsimile.

Sounds good to me! Let me know whenever you can. These have the larger dog dish ring right? ~10" ring?

I didn't know about these classic chambered guys. Looks like a good option but ya pricey. Speedway was definitely a backup option or a smaller ringed set (later 60s) from classic industries

 

[Rick Carson]

Yep on the 10"

 

[Rick Carson]

15 x 5.5" in small cap,we have lots of, as well as 6,6.5,and 7"

Ya I'm specifically looking for the 15x5.5 with the 10" large ring. If you have any that would be great.

 

[Rick Carson]

I,ll let you know tomorrow nite

I noticed the '64 grille near the pie crusts...I think we have similar ideas! I recently mounted them on 15 x 7" vintage American Torq Thrusts. Send some photos when you get them mounted on the car. Good luck.

I have a set of 16"X5" maybe 5.5" wide that take the large cap. They are mint (I have 4 or maybe 5 of them)
and for sale. I used early-mid 60's Studebaker wheels on my '65. The rims are 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern and
are 15X4.5" wide. The have the bumps on them for the large (10") cap. The center of these rims also fit inside the 15X8 hoops/shells/rings that Speedway sells.

That looks awesome. I'm putting mine on steelies in the back with ET wheels vintage V (15x4) up front. Won't happen until spring for me because the car is in storage for the winter.
