Plymouthy Adams Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I would think he was asking if these were a good price...but who knows..its only good if you willing to pay it..I would think his interest is investment for resale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodFitch Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I guess if you are looking for 19" wheels for a earlier Plymouth they might be a reasonable price. But for a '33 Plymouth you will be looking for either the standard 17" wheels or the optional 16" "Air Wheels". Both the 16" and 17" tires end up with about the same mounted tire diameter but you will have more options on tires for the 16" including Goodyear "All Weather" (diamond tread) tires that were OEM for Plymouths of that era. Hubcaps on the wheels in the photo are for a '31. For '32 and '33 the cap stands a bit proud of the wheel. Same diameter so you sometimes see a '31 cap on a '32 or '33. Or a '32-'33 cap on a '31.

michael.warshaw Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 My question is will these will work on the 33 plymouth sedan will they bolt right up ? Thanks fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 My question is will these will work on the 33 plymouth sedan will they bolt right up ? Thanks fellas. Not positive but I am fairly sure that they use the same bolt pattern. Not much offset on wheels in that era either so probably okay in that regard too. So, yes, they should bolt right up. But for the same general price you should be able to get the correct size wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Did you give up on the wood wheels? http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=34818 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Arent the wooden spoked wheels 6 lug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.warshaw Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Im not happy with the wood wheels, i just dont trust them, and the 1100 dollar estimate to have them refurbished to like new. I also like hte look of the spoked wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Have you checked the cost to refurbish and re-chrome the spoke wheels? I read a couple of articles and it appears the cost can run as high as 5-6 hundred bucks per wheel. How is your P-15 running? How many miles have you driven it to date?

If they are chromed as part of the refurbishment then it will not be a re-chrome as they were originally painted. Depending on the body color they should be black, red or green (most combinations used black wheels). The correct wheels have riveted spokes and finding someone to work on those can be a bit of a problem too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) So how does having/driving one 13 years older fit in with your preference for driving newer cars? And if you are not going to be driving it any more than the P15,what difference does the trustwortyness of the wheels make???

TodFitch Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 So how does having/driving one 13 years older fit in wwith your preference for drining newer cars? And if you are not going to be driving it any more than the P15,what difference does the trustwortyness of the wheels make??? Just between '33 and '35 or '36 there was a big change in the ride quality with the later '30s being much more like the '40s, '50s and even early '60s family sedans compared with the '33. So Greg has a good point and a valid question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
