Calling All Steelies - Caps and Otherwise...

[zachiatrist]

My first post on this forum. Here's mine.. not steel though, they're aluminum Coy C-33 smoothies. 18"x7" up front, 18"x9.5" in the rear. I added my own stripe to the lips.

Here's mine. I just recently lost one of my original hub caps while driving on the highway. Never could find it, so I had to resort to an aftermarket cap. The aftermarket caps are pretty nice.

Are these the stock steel wheels? Running drum brakes still? Spacers?

My old '66. Stocks up front, spaced out 1.5" to fill out the fenderwell and clear the calipers, and really hard to find vintage aftermarket chrome reverse 8" wheels with 3 nub/rectangle slot centers in the back. They're different from Blazer 8" wheels, the drop center of the rim starts a lot farther back so the lip looks deeper. 215/75 and 235/75 tires.








With caps.





Dad's old '66 on stockers.







The '65 I restored on stockers.

Did those Wheel Vintiques have the nubs for mounting the caps? If not how did you mount them?

I have some aftermarket steelies of unknown origin without nubs. Would love to mount some caps....

[Joe Pass]

They have the internal nub like most reproduced wheels..uses their series of caps
