Re: 56 Wheels and Tires????

I stayed with the factory wheels and had them sandblasted and powdercoated black. About $200

Then I purchased 48-55 hubcaps without the letters painted (they have the letters but not painted). They fit right on the stock 59 wheels.

I also purchased 59 trim rings new.

I also still have manual steering and I stayed with 215's and it steers fairly well.



What do the American Racing wheels look like?

If price is of interest I purchased a set of 6 bolt Corvette Rally wheels for my 69 GMC of eBay and had them mailed to Canada. If I remember correctly the wheels were about $375 for 4 including caps and rings and then another $25/wheel to have them mailed.

15" rally wheels 235-70r15 with small trim rings and hub cap.
I sand blasted the rims and repainted them.
The powder coater in Newmarket wanted $75 per wheel.
