That is a great article on wheels. Too bad Stockton is so high on their stuff. Makes it ridiculous to try and buy wheels at ripoff prices like that. I have some old wagon wheels laying around that I might be able to use like that. TR

Definitely. I think the right person could get a nice little business going.

Hey guys.... I am in the process of this right now, and the Ford truck centers with the outee hub caps measured 12-5/8... Speedway Motors carries rim shells NEW for this diameter center in 8,10, 12, and 14" widths. Im going to order some and I will keep you informed of progress.

TIP: Do all the measuring before cutting up a set of wheels!! Oooppsy!!

Does anyone have pictures of innie wheels?

Lefty,

You coming to SS08? I am bringing along a "innie" type wheel for another member.

These are cheaper alternative than buying from another well known wheel company.

I still have'nt had time to finish the wheels that I am building myself... I will get those done, and get pics up soon.

Used to do that in the '60's. The hot tip then was Buick rims, they were the only wide ones available then.

They must have not understood the correct pricing from Stockton.

Using original Ford pieces Stockton custom made the wheels for me:

15x10's for back and 15x8's for front, made to fit the NOS 66 Hubcaps.

Cost 92 each for front
and 100 each for rears included powdercoating. Pretty hard to beat that price. The parts wheels are brand new too.

Interesting how this person did the wheels tho but thats a lot of work for hte money saved and the time involved to go out and find the pieces.
