All,

Turns out i have a bent rim on my 56 sunliner (stock, 15"). Anybody know of an equivalent replacement and where to get one? Car has dog dish hub caps, so it needs the "bumps" on the mid section for them to clip onto (does that make sense?) Any thoughts on interchanges?

Thanks!

Thanks! On a chance, i called coker. They have new replacements, supposedly with the right nubs to hold on dog dish hub caps, for about $70, so i just ordered one of those. 15x5", so we will see how it looks/works when it gets here.

thanks!

That's good to know that you can get replacements, I need one for my spare (somehow a 14" snuck in there). Do you know if the make wider, stock looking wheels?

Dennis Carpenter used to carry them but doesn't any longer.

edit; Never mind the question, I guess I can look myself, Thanks

When i talked to them, they indicated that they have widths from 5" to 8" (IIRC), OE style. Im assuming that the offset, etc is the same based on the way the guy on the phone was describing, but not 100% sure. Seems to be worth a call though.

Vintage wheels does as well , I hear a place here on Long Island will Duplicate the stock wheel and put any offset or width you want, If Interested i will call for the #.
