maurice wade Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 Doe's anyone know of a outlet that makes reproduction rims for Plymouth 16 inch rims? All 5 of mine were bent at the tire shop. I got them as straight as possiable, but they still have about 1/8" wobble in them. I am conserned about bearing damage. M Wade Quote
RobertKB Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 I don't think there are reproductions and you might find some 15" rims more easily. Some members have used modern rims on their cars with good results. Maybe one of them will add some information to this thread. Quote
glendale Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 If you want to stay original' date=' there are places like Stockton Wheel in California that will fix your wheels for you. Other than that the only way to get original wheels would be used ones. There are no reproductions. If you don't care about staying original you can go with new wheels from places like Stockton or Wheels Vintique.[/quote'] read this before you use stockton wheel. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=182382&highlight=stockton+wheel&showall=1 p.s. you can more than likely get yours wheels fixed.

Frank Elder Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 Couldn't you drill out your hub cap clips and fasten them to a vintques aftermarket rim? Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 Couldn't you drill out your hub cap clips and fasten them to a vintques aftermarket rim? The wheelvintiques wheels come with baby moon hubcaps but they have no logo for Plymouth. And the moons are made with thin metal and they will dimple even if you use the palm of your hand to smack them into place. But I like the exposed nuts on my car. Quote

Don Coatney Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 :eek::eek::eek:Don, how far is Lexington from the Big M? Lexington, Kentucky? About 3 hours unless Smashville traffic is at a standstill. Quote
maurice wade Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Posted May 26, 2009 Yea, guy's, that is what I am conserened about, getting in to a long drawn out mess with some rebuilder. I think good used wheels will be the way to go for now. Maybe someday someone will make the rims repoduction. MW Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Doe's anyone know of a outlet that makes reproduction rims for Plymouth 16 inch rims? All 5 of mine were bent at the tire shop. My first thought would be -find a different tire shop. Secondly......I think a set of used rims would probably be the best way to go. Hopefully they would be straight. Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Lexington,Tn. on 412 east. Not sure. I will have a look when I return home as my map program is on my home puter. Quote
