oldodge41 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I have them on my '41 Dodge. Not sure what brand they are. Have thought about going to 15" radials but like my current wheel decor too much to do it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Back in the 1970s I had, for a while, a 41 Dodge coupe like that. I put on it some 1951 DeSoto wheel covers......they were all one piece, but looked like a small chrome cap with the white ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedoragent Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 [ATTACH]21327[/ATTACH](click on image to enlarge) I've seen that but when I look at the back of those LWW, I just logically can't see how they would stay on...

I'm taking the wheels to a friend of mine to get the old tires taken off. From there, the wheels will goto a sand blaster and will be powder coated. After that, it's radials for me and then the white walls and hub caps! FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are Lyons. There were some in the trunk when we drug the car out of the old barn and I found a couple at the Carlisle swap meet 20 years ago. My Dad had a '48 Chrysler Coupe that had ones like the "47 Chrysler pictured in this thread. They were 15" though and mine are 16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bias or Radials and what size? FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedoragent Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Okay folks, I got one on one of the wheels to test. However, how the hell do i get it off? It won't budge. And I don't want to damage it. I tried using the screwdriver, but it still did not budge. Crap. FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldodge41 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 What tires are you running on your 16s? Bias or Radials and what size?FG. 6.00-16 bias ply. Mine fit pretty tight but a screwdriver working around is the only way I know to get them off........Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedoragent Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Folks, I was able to get them off with 47Heaven's help. I had to buy some pry bars but they came off fine. I am ecstatic that I'm so close to that new ride and look. FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
