Yes we do, we just go to a heavy truck tire dealer( dont waste your time with a car tire dealer). Regardless of the horror stories you probably heard, these rims are safe and never been recalled. These rims require experienced tire people to mount.Can use both 16" bais and 16" radial type. It costs more to deal with these rims, tubes, liner extra labor, put it is worth the extra expense if you are interested in retaining the orignal look of the vehicle. Newer rims with newer hubcaps are period incorrect and do not match the styling of a '68.
