What is the difference between 55 and 56 Chevy factory steel wheels? I have a 56 210 model with steelies. They are welded wheels 15''. I've been told that 55 steelies have rivots. Thanks for your input....JT
I reversed a set of '55 rims back in the 60's by cutting out the rivets and welding them back together. I think they were the original wheels. I never had a '56 but I believe there was a wider tire option in that year so it's possible it used a different wheel to fit the bigger tire.
Rivets (55) versus welding (56). Corvette wheels were also welded, so '56 p***enger car rims seem to go for more than the '55 ones do.
