Title says it all. I am beginning to think these things are made of unobtainium!

Hi Jimmy,
That would be much appreciated.

One piece rim- I don't care if it has surface rust etc
Thanks again

Hey there Carl,

That doesn't look like an original wheel... for a 50's GM product, anyway. Unfortunately I can't quite place it. You might try the section for 60s trucks.

Looks like a newer 8 lug wheel, if that's what your looking for I have a bunch of them. I was thinking you were looking for an original rim. Let me know if you want pics. What size rim is that?

WA1KPD · 04-28-2010, 01:19 PM

I know it takes a 16" tire. I can try and get the other dimensions for you this weekend. I assumed it was the original since that was what came with the truck.

Thanks for the help!

I have two 16x6 that could be had for the cost of packaging/shipping.

I went out and looked at what I had and the only thing that looks like yours is a 16.5 rim. Sorry.
A buddy of mine has a 65 Lincoln Continental and the rims look like the exact same style as yours so I'm really thinking that you have Ford wheels.
