Re: Info needed for 17" x 6" wheels 1965 C30

Congratulations on the complete set find! Do they have the same off set as the correct green rim? Hard to tell from the photo. Older privately owned wrecking yards are the best! These are the types authentic parts that are disappearing everyday in the U.S., most get crushed because most people don't want to deal with the extra expense of tubes, flaps and going to an exclusive truck tire dealer only to mount tires. Speaking of tires, you will want to find the 7.50-17, not a low profile metric size. These rims were designed by engineers, much smarter than us, designed to carry the maximum load back in the day. When assembled properly by skilled truck tire people, there is no problem with them, and these wheels never had a recall like the 15" version did. Please let us know the date code on this new set when available. The photo of the rim with the regular style ring is very interesting, appears to have the same correct offset as the green rim, but, I don't recall ever seeing one like that, and don't see it in any of my books.
