Can't you buy these new through Summit or one of the other wheel companies?

 

Not with the correct numbers and date codes. They're at $1000 with 17 hours to go. $250 a wheel is a great price for these. I suspect they'll go higher before it's all over.

 

I hope the folks who'll be beating each other up to get these realize that they are incorrect for the early cars. Dan

 

Just to help everyone along,
The "WG" wheels are identical to the early 1970 15x7 "7.0" wheels except they had the application code added, where the early wheels only referenced the size.

Both use the same identical centers and rims.

The question was asked,
"Can't you buy these new through Summit or one of the other wheel companies?"

The answer is yes, you can purchase wheels with the same offset,
however the rims are different and are easily told from the originals.

If you are looking for a set of wheels for a correct build, these would be the style you need. Good luck with the auction.

Any idea when the change over from the 7.0 was made?

 

Ended for $1625....:shock:

 

Did these come as a factor-installed option?
Also, would the spare be the same wheel?

 

Yes and yes.

 

I feel good about the ones I purchased for $300 this week with decent tires. No codes and driver quality but a good deal and still in great shape.

Thanks Tim,

PS can you get that dam road paved to your house, my truck got dirty:laugh:
