Looking four 15 in steel wheels for my 57 fairlane would like to use stock dog dish caps 6in with would be great Chris

If you would rather buy new wheels, Wheel Vintiques series 62 steel wheels are available in 5,6,7,8, and 10" widths, and fit the stock dog dish hubcaps. I bought mine from Summit Racing (free shipping), and all 6 balanced up nicely. The only thing that is a little negative, is that they have a larger center hole, but with the hubcaps on, you don`t see that anyhow. Nice and straight, no rust pits, and they come in gray primer.

Where are you located? I have about 10, 15 inch 55/56/57 Ford wheels including a set of Thunderbird wheels.

Lou

The Thunderbird wheels are sold, I would take $25.00 each for any of the Ford wheels.

Do you think these 15" Wheel Vintiques series 62 steel wheels will fit over disc brakes? I think I'll get one for a spare but I have Wilwood disc brakes.

Yes, I have these wheels on my 59 (15x6" front, & 15x8" rear), and I have 11"Wilwood disc brakes on the front, plenty of room.

I am wanting 15 inch and I live in NE AR

Lou

I have 2, 15 inch 56 Ford wheels left.

Shipping would be expensive, I just shipped 2 wheels to Alabama it cost almost $70.00

Are you aware that 56 ford wheels will not fit cars with disk brakes ?

If your interested in the wheels my email is vehicleone@hotmail.com

I may just get a couple of Wheel Vintiques from Summit. Shipping would be free I think. But thanks!

Marc

Lou do you have any 57  14" wheels lying around?

  They do fit if you use stock Ford disc brakes. My discs are from a Mustang, Fairlane and a probably a bunch of others that used the same calipers. My front wheels are from a 55-56 Ford. I think there 5" wide? Cant speak for the Wilwood stuff.
