    I'm looking to find a set of chrome road wheels for my Wildcat. Would love a set with the grey pockets instead of the traditional black ones, but I certainly won't say no to a nice set of black pocket ones.

    Which years will fit? I know they made them up to about 1980, but I understand that the newer ones won't fit.
    The ones I need are the 15 x 6 variety, I think, but I'm not sure. Is there anyone who sells them anymore?

    Have a look on Kijiji in Calgary there was a set of 4 listed last week. I think any of them will fit as long as the bolt pattern is correct.

    He never got back to me...

    I think there was an issue with hub clearance on the drums. I somehow recall the earlier wheels had a wider hub.

    I've got 4 I pulled off my '65 with the tires still on them. I will get the tires pulled off. They have the black pockets. I'm moving and cleaning out the storage unit. I haven't seen them in years and I'm not sure of the condition. They were decent when put in storage. I know the center hole is not the same on all wheels so they must be a mixture of years. Are you in Canada? That could be a problem.

    I'll get some pics this weekend. If you want them I'll let them go for shipping and a $20 dollar bill. That'll get me a burger and a beer. I REALLY don't want to throw them away.

    Yeah, I'm in Canada, western Canada to be exact, so shipping could be a b---h. (horribly expensive).
    I'll take the chance that shipping won't be $300; - if you could get me a shipping quote to the Edmonton Alberta Canada area, T8H 0J9 (cheapest way possible) we might be able to come to an arrangement.

    Two wheels to a box for shipping. Cheaper.
