    I wanted to klnow if anyone knows of ANY aftermarket wheels in the 1960-63 4 lug pattern.

    Torq Thrusts, no, Halibrand, no.. Etc., etc..

    I always had heard no one has an off-the shelf one, but I always heard that about 1964-66 Barracudas, to...
    (different pattern, but still odd)...and just found out Cragar makes the SS mags for those, still...

    Anyone know of anything for the early 1960 60 61 62 63 Falcon or Comet ?

    I am asking for a friend with an all -original driver. Doesn't want to change the hubs, which leads to rear end swap, etc..

    THANKS.

    Keystone Cl***ics came in that pattern in the 70's. I believe the ET IV slotted aluminums did too but not positive.

    I believe Crager made them and I have seen slot mags (ET?). Centerlines could be bought with the pattern.

    I am changing mine to 5 lug for that reason.

    About the only old-style wheel I'd see as okay would be the old mags...

    someone made 'em, here is a picture of a 1963 in a junkyard with some on it...

    ANy one have those, or know who makes a new wheel?

    I might use something like this on a Comet wagon I am looking at, too.

    I have a '64 in the shop right now. We are putting chrome Vintiques, with chrome caps on it. Simple, clean and elegant.

    1964...now I forget eith the 1964-65s...they are the same 4-bolt pattern, unless they are V8, right? ( I ***ume you mean the car has the orig. set up? or did you make it 5 on 4.5 spacing...)

    So is that car 4-bolt? That's the hard part...if so, where's you ge them? Wheel Vintiques?

    It is a 6-cylinder car. It is 4-bolt, 4 on 4-1/2". It is staying a 6, with future power disc brake upgrade.

    The wheels we ordered are Wheel Vintiques 10-570404K, which are 15x7", with 4" backspacing. The cap is included.

    Thanks - I have beenm all over Google...not found anything. So option #1.
    Will that backspacing work as-is?

    I always see peopl say that you can't put 15's right on the early Falcons wiothout suspension mods...or so I thought?

    I would only try 14s on the 13" car...but do you already know about the 15s...is it okay?

    I'll remember that.

    The backspacing and fitment looks ok. Will find out for sure when they get here.

    Did those work?

    But it was on a 1964-65, right?

    14"s worked on those we know, originally anyway.
