JaysonK Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 Okay searched the site for did not come up with much, want to change my current '70s/ 80s wheels for something more within the time period. I love baby moons or the like, my question is my hub sticks out almost three inches is there a moon type wheel that works, anyone got pics of what they run....I do not have original rims and I am okay getting something new. Pictures and thoughts are always helpful, thanks. Quote
greg g Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 I have painted wheel vintique smoothy model 20's with trim rings on my car. 15 inch, 5 1/2 wide, I think 4 inch backspace. 1 Quote
Los_Control Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 this is what I am going for, I know my 1961 dodge 1/2 ton used these wheels, not sure how many years did. For used wheels I think these will clean up ok and painted black with baby moons and chrome beauty rings like greg g wheels above. To me that is the best look ever. Just an idea for factory mopar wheels to look for or order. Quote

Did you paint them or did they come that way? How far do your hubs stick out is it the same as a truck? Edited August 16, 2017 by JaysonK Quote

B1B Keven Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 How about stock wheels and caps with beauty rings. 2 Quote
pflaming Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 I used stock 55 dodge 1/2 ton truck 15" rims to clear the front calipers, then beauty rims and caps. I put a set of chrome wheelies but not to my taste. 1 Quote
WarriorDog Posted August 17, 2017 Report Posted August 17, 2017 I have a set of 15" wheels off a 1950 B2C sitting in the garage. All clips are on the wheels. 5 on 5 bolt pattern. They've already been Sand blasted. PM me if you're interested. 1 Quote
greg g Posted August 17, 2017 Report Posted August 17, 2017 Body shop painted them when the car was done in 2003. I can't comment on the truck vs car hubs, but the wheel folks should have that figment stuff on hand. 1 Quote

B1B Keven Posted August 17, 2017 Report Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks. Not that hard to find. Roberts sells the hub caps and the beauty rings were on ebay. 235/85r16's 2 Quote
HughForrest Posted August 17, 2017 Report Posted August 17, 2017 How about a set of this style in the 16x4.5 size? They're available... Quote

If someone else is looking for just a few, maybe we can split them up? Quote
