These
aren't wire or are they magnesium..."wiremag" was a
name for a style I think originated by American Racing
Wheels that dates back to the 60s. A used set of alloy
wheels; 14 x 6. Would have to be polished to look
nice. There are companies that specialize in this.
There is some curb scuffing of outer edge on these.
(see pics).
Does
not include caps, lug nuts or lug nut washers. The
holes for the lugnuts on these wheels are 7/8 inches
in diameter.
The
65-67 cars originally came with a 5.60-14 tire on a 4
inch wide wheel. The 67.5-70 cars had a 4.5 inch wheel
with a 5.60-14 tire (145-14) or in some cases a
6.45-14 tire (165-14).
Each
brand and size of tire are typically designed to fit 3
rim widths; one optimum size and a size on each side
that are "OK". Check with your tire supplier. You may
find tire to car body contact problems when you mount
custom wheels on a car. It will depend on the wheel,
the tire, and how your car is sitting on its
suspension.. Typically the more "dish" (negative
offset) the wheel has when you look at it the worse
the situation is. In some cases I've seen people add a
bit of clearance by trimming the inside of the rear
fender lip. The above wheels were on a stock roadster;
HOWEVER
IT IS YOUR COST AND RISK
when going to a custom wheel that it will work to your
satisfaction.
There
is a tremendous variety of wheels that list they "fit"
the roadster. Many don't; they just share the same
bolt pattern. At least these were actually ON a
roadster!
Offset
on these wheels is about 5mm positive.
