Thread: Lookin For Stock Wheels For My 63 Chevy

Tweet

Figured I would put a word out there. I am looking for a set of stock rims..for a 1963 chevy belair wagon,15 inch,do not want anything in the form of a mag wheel..just stock. anyone know a link to find them at..I have been searching and cant seem to locate any. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

do you have a pic of what you want? are they ralley type rims?

A stock steel wheel from just about any year will work if that is all you need. These things should be a dime a dozen in a junk yard. Check your bolt pattern (should be 5 on 5) to be certain but even a truck rim will work. Bury it under a wheel cover and nobody will know.

If you want new try www.coker.com

If you are shooting for absolute correctness, sometimes the wagons had wider rims than the sedans. If you can't find any in the local boneyard or ebay, call some of the wheel manufacturers like Stockton wheel, or Vintiques, or any of the ones who advertise in hot rod magazines. They build more than custom wheels, and can probably sell you a brand new set for close to what you would pay used. And they won't bent up as used ones potentially could be.

Thanks so far for the info folks.
I was not aware that most rims may fit. I need a bit of a wider size for the rear.. I do not know what sizes they have so I am kinda lost there as well.what are the sizes anyway???

The earlier rims were pretty narrow as a rule. I would bet the stockers were around 5 inches or so. Most late model rims, off a wagon or truck, will be 15 x 7's. You can put a 255 series tire on one of those with no problem... Just take your tape measure with you to the "yard".
