15″ & 16″ 8 LUG WHEELS NOW AVAILABLE!
PontiacParadise.com now has 15″ 8 lug steel wheels available. NOT the aluminum drums, just the wheels your tires mount on. As you probably know, the selection of decent 14″ tires is long gone. People have been screaming for 15″ 8 lug wheels for a long time. The people who made the reproduction 8 lug drums made a run of 15″ wheels however the welding of the lugs to the wheels was ugly. They are long gone. The new wheels are available in two different back spacings. For 7″ wide rims, the back spacing will be 4.25″ and for the 8″ wide rims, the back spacing is 4.75″. They are available in your choice of either black or silver power coated for $259.00 each or chrome plated for $289.00 each plus $25 each for shipping in the lower 48 states. World-wide at cost. They can also be ordered bare at the same price. 8″ Trim Rings for the 15″ wheels are available thru Eckler’s, their part #A4165 at around $80 per car set. They also have Trim Rings for 6″ and 7″ as all of these are Corvette Rally Wheel Trim Rings. 60-62 took the really narrow trim rings so you might consider those (6″) for that application. I am told that the chrome rims really do not need trim rings as they look great without them. Also, 16″ wheels are also available! They can be ordered in bare, black or silver powered coated or chrome. The bare, black or silver wheels are $289 each. The chrome wheels are $319 each. Again, plan on $25 per wheel shipping in the lower 48 states. Chrome photo above and silver power coated below. These prices are subject to change. Order today! I have been notified of a 6 to 8 week delay in delivery of the wheels once they are ordered. They are worth the wait. LK 10/28/2013
