Projects Which wheels should I put on my 63 Impala

NO white walls with Cragars or Americans

 

That’s the only way to run em

 

I think the Rally wheels look clean on these. Run a aftermarket cap if you want a bit older look.

 

Steeliest with whitewalls and baby moon hubcaps or with full wheel covers

 

Hard to beat American's. HRP

 

Torque Thrusts, Cragar S/S ? Play it again, Sam.
Radir 5 spokes... Very period correct on a 63 Chevy..at least in my part of the world.
Please..No white letter tires either :-o

 

owner should always pick his own wheels.


unless they pick wheels I don't like. then I should pick their wheels.

 

GM Ralley wheel is tough to beat ,many different diameters and widths are available , change color and center caps and you have a new set of wheels any time you want to .

 

How's about redlines????..

 

You can even use old washing machine controls for rally center caps

 

Made me laugh! I really like rally wheels in the right applications, been buying them since I was a teenager. They also make good spares for farm machinery.

 

So, curious, have you ever had any 14x5 or 15x5 rally wheels?

 

You guys are making it hard to decide. They all look good. I gotta stick to $500 budget. Someone has to have some ratty Torq thrust or cragars 14-15’s out there

 

Where are you located? I and others may have some, and we might be neighbors but never know it.

 

I went with Cragars on mine.

 

They would look great but they're kind of outside of the budget idea he has.

 

People regularly use the sbc in Fords why not use Mercury hubcaps on a Chevy?

 

Chevrolet had a coupe called the "Mercury" edition in 1933.

 

What size cragars are those?

 

I have 6x14"s on the 62 and 7x15"s on the 61. Both were very old sets. The 15s were brand new , but old stock,and the 14s needed sandblasting because they were very rusty. After blasting I painted the wheel centers the body color and the rims bright silver.

 

X2, what is the OP's location? American TT's, original, a pair of 14x7 and a pair of 14x6 direct fit for Chevy are here in my shop. With caps. For less than what you want to spend.

 

Can you do $500 delivered to 92117?

 

San Diego is on the other side of the continent! That would be costly. There's got to be a set closer. But there may be a way to relay them there.

 

I’ve got a plan: you take a vacation to San Diego with atleast 3 other people. Each person takes a wheel as a carrying on when you fly down. I’ll pick you up at the airport.

 

Keystones with 1 1/4 white stripe

 

back in the late seventies I had the silver 15x6 Rally wheels with the police caps on my white with red interior two-door hardtop Impala... origional 283 with three on the tree. I thought it looked pretty good.
I never should have sold that car... but I couldn't refuse the offer... three times what I paid for it.

 

I am currently running Rallys on my '61. I also have a set of Torq Thrusts, and a set of stock white steel wheels with factory '61 dog dish caps.

 

I know the narrower ones are more difficult to find, I think my single set have rubber on them, so I don’t have a measurement, I doubt they are as narrow as 5 inches. Pontiac, ford and mopar are easier to find in 14 inch. I’m not an expert, just an aficionado.

 

$500.00 budget? Not quite 1/2 of one wheel for my OT pickup!
