As you all know, I have a 1967 GTX.
Right now, it has a old set of Cragar's on it.
I want to get new rims, but I wanna get the same size that the car originally had. It is a drum brake car, so did it originally come with 14'' or 15'' rims?

 

I would say 15" wheels, but am not sure. Wouldn't it say if you ran the VIN?

 

i'll check on that

 

VIN won't tell you wheel size, I'd guess (and it's just a guess) that being a GTX it probably had 15's on it from the factory

 

well, i looked into it a little more, and i think, think, the car came with 14X5.5 rims, but the 15'' might have been an option

 

I know my first '68 had 14" Magnums on it

 

14s were the size

 

were 15's an option?

 

hey gtx. yes 15`s could be ordered. are you wanting to go back to a stock look? or something, sporty? If you want aftermarket. i would recomend a set of the new torque thrust 2 wheels. w. the charcoal centers, man they would look kick but on your gtx. If stock, Id do the magnum 500 `s w. redlines in 15". that would look refined.

 

i was thinking of going to redlines, but i have tires on the car that are new, (they came with the car) so, that rules out the redlines (i am trying to save some money, as new tires are expensive)
i have the car looking completely stock, down to the valve covers
but, i think the cragar s/s are cool.
i have those on the car now, but the chrome on them is pitted, so i figured just to get a new set of them

 

anyone know what a good price is for 4 s/s cragar 15 by 6
i figured $150-160 each
does that sound about right?

 

kinda pricey for the cragers if they are in good shape try to sell the lot for 250.00 to 300.00

 

huh
i could be wrong, but i thought that was the price with the vendors at englishtown
ill look into this more
thanks

 

My '66 Belvedere came new with 14" rhims and now has 15s which I thank looks better.

 

ya, i think so to
there isn't much difference, so, it won't bother me

 

do anyone know where to buy the original magnum rims?
they are reproductions, so the chrome piece is welded onto them, right?

 

Are you talking about the trim ring? I'm old, so some things are going to be fuzzy, but if I remember right, the early Magnums were chromed all the way to the edge, no trim ring required, and later, maybe '69, they went to the paint and trim ring set up.

 

do you know what the repo's would have?

 

i tried that website, but no luck
thanks though
this isnt something that yearone would have, right?

 

i think i found out the answer
15'' were available for the GTX, but only with the hemi option
