Metal Whitewall for a 16 inch rim...

[mackster]

These things are beautiful! I want to keep them! but they dont fit my 15 inch rim. I may go to 16 in rims just like fedoragent....(maybe) anyways...here are the pictures! would you go 16s if you were me? just opinions here..no problems. I will do whatever i feel like it later.

I may go to 16 in rims just like fedoragent....(maybe) but for right now if you want them PM me and i can sell them to you for what i got on them right now plus shipping...anyways...here are the pictures! would you go 16s if you were me? just opinions here..no problems. I will do whatever i feel like it later.

Take this down. I'll buy them from you.

FG.

Fedoragent has first dibs on them...but what would you do if you had them? just your thoughts on them...

[Don Coatney]

If I had them I would sell them to fedoragent. I like chrome wheels and skinny whites.

Those do look good Don! are those original steel rims chromed or newer aftermarket? do they have a deeper dish? It looks like they have the nubs for mooncaps.

I would go 16 and run them, but I am biased. I also like the look of Dons setup and may go that way if I switch to radials in the future.

they good units if that is what you like, I find they do not offer a proper balance between rubber, whitewall and hubcap..I have a set in so so condition here..figure they would look good on a spare mounted in the trunk..

[Reg Evans]

I'd sell this NOS 15" set for $75 or trade them for your 16" set mackster.

Reg I thougt those just came in chrome...I have a 15 and 16 inch set in chrome that fit under the hubcap fom the factory.

Aftermarket wheels made by Wheelvintiques located in Fresno I believe. They came with baby moons but I like the exposed nuts look better.

i got oversized nuts. back to the cars... i do like Regs offer. they do look different then the Lyons caps. seems like the lyons cover a wider area than the other set. good none the less....

Reg, I thought you said on my post about my wheels, that those white wall rings were 16"...

By accident today I picked up an August, 1946 Popular Science magazine and turned to an ad for "Lyon Whitewalls". Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner with me or I would post the whole ad.

"Priced at $6.95 and up for a set of four, they will add beauty and distinction to even the most distinguished cars!"

"Now available at better dealers everywhere. Lyon Incorporated, 13881 west Chicago blvd., Detroit, Michigan."

Here's an advertisement for the caps!

If you want to look for it, it's in August, 1946 Popular Science magazine, page 209.

Mack,

I'm still interested in them and can come by tomorrow morning before a wedding I have to goto. Sorry I haven't called back or PMed or even posted here anything on the board. I almost lost my job this week and had to keep my head down and was able to keep it.

U can always just paint or power coat your wheels white ?? look about the same ??

[JIPJOBXX]

Yes I suppose you can but things like these wheel covers just make the care more interesting to show oft (Of course that's my oppion!)
