    Where can I get a set. I looked at the smoothies they sell at american racing but it doesn't look like I can get my poverty caps on them. Only the classic half moon cap.

    Maybe 2 8 in wide and 2 7 in.

    Anyone?

    Just looked at Jeg's Item's 260-313-5805 and 260-313-5705P may be the ticket.

    Joe,

    If your looking @ the Chevy Rally chrome repro knockoff wheels. They are simply garbage. I bought some for a custom truck I had and they started rusting within a year. The center spinners started rusting about a month after I put them on. And that was with the wheels being in a heated garage for the winter and not in use. Just cheap chrome. I bought them out of the Jeggs catalog.

    I also looked @ a 68 Chevy truck that was for sale a few years back. The guy that was selling it said the wheels were new and they were rusty already.

    Maybe it's just the Illinois weather?

    If you want to just add some shiny chrome to your car go down to Pep Boy and get some chrome door edge guards.

    "See if you have a Rim & Wheel Service Inc in your area, they sometime reverse the names and its called wheel and rim"

    You can get them brand new like that for $44 each

    They are more a truck, trailer place but had them in stock.
    Even in the big bolt pattern I needed. Same style.

    Get them chromed or powdercoated chrome, if you find that style for a good deal in chrome its gonna be a crap job that rusts up bad real fast.
    Get them done right to last.

    I'm not sure where you can find what you are looking for but I like the idea of chromes with poverty caps. If you get it together please post some pictures. I was thinking of doing that with my 53.:TU:

    I have two of them in 14 inch. Thats where I got the idea. They came on the vert frame I bought for my 65 lark vert.

    I'll post a pic tomorrow. Too damn dark outside.
