jorswift Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 Anyone know what size and type of rims these are? This is what I kind of want to do. Paint them red and have a bit of chrome in the middle. Thanks. Quote
Martin53Cranbrook Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 the picture is small but they look like stock steel wheels Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 those look like stock rims painted red with spider caps on..the type that cover the lug nuts and the grease cap only...tried to save the pic and enlarge but pixeled out before I could get a good look.. Quote
jorswift Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks. I need to find some stock rims. I have some nasty ugly ones on now. Anyone know of any leads? Thanks. Quote
hkestes41 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 Stock P15 wheels will not look right with Spider Caps because of the hubcap clips. What you would need to do is either remove the hubcap clips or find a later model Mopar/Ford steel OEM style wheel without the clips. I think you are looking for something like this. These are called Spider Caps and a new set will run you around $150 - $200. You can get pretty much the same look by going with push in chrome bullets in the center and chrome lug nuts if you convert to studs or chrome lug bolts if you can find them. The wheel with the clips is actually a Lincoln wheel but I couldn't find a decent photo of a P15 wheel with the clips. You will get the idea though, the clips sticking up around the spider caps would look kind of cheezy. Quote
jorswift Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 I wouldn't mind the stockers with the trim clip inside and the rim painted red. Gives it a nicer touch. I dunno just need to find some rims I guess. Thanks. Quote
Smokeybear Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 If I can find two Aluminum slots/Ansen sprints to go on the front of my car, I'll be putting 4 stock 15's on the market. Quote
jorswift Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Posted July 18, 2011 Still looking for some steel stockers. Anyone ever use other steel rims. I looked and it looks like a steel rim from a 2011 Honda Civic would fit. Any ideas? Quote
P15Mike Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Where are you located , i have a set of 4 that came off a 48 p-15 . Mike Quote
jorswift Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Posted July 18, 2011 Indiana. I wonder how much shipping would be. Quote
David Maxwell Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Just a note: The stock rims for a P15 came in either 15 inch 1946, 1947 late year, 48 and 49 or 16 inch early 47 models. Quote
P15Mike Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Oops ... Yup ... forgot to mention they're 15's . Not sure if shipping would be the way to go . Maybe call around to some of the older local boneyards to see what might be out there . Quote
Robert Horne Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 I have a set of 5 Road Runner wheels for my 38. 7 inch wide, by 15 inch.. They were not in great shape, but after alot of prep, they do look pretty good... Quote
mrwrstory Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Ford rims and 60's - 70's Mopars are all pretty much the same ,....as long as they're 5 bolt. Seems Craigs List would be a good local source. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 I tried a rotor from a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant on my p-15 and it seemed to fit perfectly. I am certain it was metric, but hey, if it fits,,,,,,,,,,,, Quote

Those aren't Roadrunner wheels. 78 had some similar wheels as part of an "Super Coupe" option package, but they don't have the "nubs" for hub caps. The wheels you have are from a late 70's cop car.

The wheels you have are from a late 70's cop car. You are right! I had a '78 Fury Ohio State Patrol 440 Intersepter and those are the wheels!Tom Quote
jorswift Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 What is our offset for the rims? Quote
greg g Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 back space not to exceed 3 3/4 or 4 in at the most. I tried early cherokee rims and they are too deep and interfere with the rear springs. Quote
mrwrstory Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Cop car wheels on a P-15 Some folks call them Ralleye Wheels,...which they are not. The Slots are a different shape. Quote

The wheels you have are from a late 70's cop car. Thanks for the info. The guy I got my wheels from had 3 Road Runners, early 70s I believe, that he had taken these wheels off and replaced with mags. A friend of mine has owned a 68 Road Runner for many years. His stock wheels are very plain with the small hub caps. Quote
YukonJack Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Cop car wheels on a P-15 Some folks call them Ralleye Wheels,...which they are not. The Slots are a different shape. Are your wheels all 15X7 or are the fronts narrower? Quote
