[Chrysler300] Replacement Wheels for Other 14 inch Letters

[Tony Rinaldi <awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all who are interested in the replacement wheels for the 300-F.
Hope to complete the first order, in the next 2 weeks, since there are so
many owners who need the wheels right away.

I have modified the web site:

http://homepage.mac.com/awrdoc/PhotoAlbum5.html

DO NOT CONTACT STOCKTON WHEELS DIRECTLY. THEY WILL NOT DEAL WITH YOUR
INQUIRIES.

The web site now contains a picture of a 300-C wheel compared to the new
replacement wheel.

The wheel was photographed by Michael Burke and sent to Bill Leahy.

Please consider that in 1960, the regular hubcaps did not have any cleats,
although the F hubcaps did.

When Stockton Wheel did the R&D, they were only trying to retain the regular
hubcaps thru the mechanism of protruding nubs that fit into matching
recesses of the 1960 Chrysler hubcaps.

When you view the 300-C wheel, it looks the same as the replacement wheel,
to me anyway, except there are nubs and the replacement wheel is more
substantial.

I have a strong suspicion that this Mopar wheel face that Stockton is using
can be used on other 14 inch applications. It also has the second row of
holes to line up for other years???

I would think that if your cleated hubcaps would be retained on a regular
rim, then snapping over 4 nubs would retain them even better.

No nubs good, 4 nubs better? Wonder if they will fit a 1984 Chrysler? If you
didn¹t read George Orwell disregard the last statement which will sound
stupid.

Anyhow, the mystery of wheels may or may not be so difficult to decipher.

If you own a 1950s or 1960s letter car or non letter car, and it has 14 inch
wheels and you need wide replacements that are made for radial tires, you
may be in luck.

Maybe one representative of each car year could order one wheel and test it
out for compatibility, fitment and hubcap retention.

Otherwise, you could ship me a wheel and a hubcap for comparison.

Please reply all so that we can open this up to the group and draw on the
combined experience of many.

Thank you,

Tony Rinaldi

Hi to all:

Good news for those who own 1960 300-Fs and need modern replacement wheels
that will accept radial tires. He can supply as many as we need.

I have been quietly working with the owner of Stockton Wheel to produce
replacement wheels for 300-Fs. He has found the proper wheel facings, made
up the wheels and has welded the nubs and powder coated and shipped me a set
of 5 replacement wheels. I am happy with them and have photographed and
documented them.

DO NOT CONTACT STOCKTON WHEELS DIRECTLY

These wheels are only for 1960 and have raised bumps welded on the rims to
retain the hubcaps. They will be powder coated with a shiny black. The
wheels are going to be made to the specifications that are shown on the web
site link below. If you are not comfortable with having the center bore
0.02 inch or approximately 1/64 inch larger, than the original wheels then,
DO NOT
ORDER THE WHEELS. The wheels are slightly wider than 6.5 inches wide, if you
are not comfortable with this then DO NOT ORDER THE WHEELS. The wheels
should be ordered with 3/4 bevelled modern lug nuts (RH thread only, sorry).

WYSIWYG (WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET)

Compatibility with others years¹ of 14 inch wheels can be explored in the
future
when wheels are delivered and multiple year owners report compatibility of
fitment and hubcap retention on other years.

I will be happy to work with other year owners of 14 inch wheels. If you are
local, contact me and bring your original wheel and hubcap to compare with
this wheel. Also, you could ship me a wheel and hubcap to have me compare
them.

15 inch vented wheels are out of the question!!!

DO NOT CONTACT STOCKTON WHEELS DIRECTLY

ORDERS WILL ONLY BE TAKEN THRU ME AND WHEN SUFFICIENT NUMBERS ARE
ACCUMULATED I WILL SEND THE FINAL ORDERS TO STOCKTON WHEEL WHO WILL BILL YOU
DIRECTLY AND SHIP THEM TO YOU

THE COST WILL BE $95 EACH PLUS SHIPPING

SUGGEST YOU ORDER SETS OF 5

STOCKTON WHEELS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST HUBCAPS AND FITMENT TO ANY
YEAR EXCEPT 1960

I HAVE TESTED HUBCAP RETENTION AND IT IS BETTER THAN ON MY ORIGINAL WHEEL

If you are interested, please reply privately with your name & shipping
address, the number of wheels and whether or not you want the modern lug
nuts. RH thread only. Credit card info or other means of payment will
handled thru Stockton Wheel prior to shipment. DO NOT SEND ME ANY FINANCIAL
INFO.

Stockton Wheels has been in business for 123 years and the current owner has
been with them for 30 years.

Hi to all,

I have bad news regarding the wheel project. As you know the replacement
wheels, for 300-Fs
were not feasible.

I don¹t like to fail, but we came close. Short by only 4 NUBS!
