[Chrysler300] '55 Chrysler wire wheels

["Jack Boyle" <jackcboyle@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I am ready to pull the pin on buying new/reproduction wheels for my C300.

 

I have been running; out of true, leaky, 65 year old wheels too long. Now I have discovered another broken spoke. I want new, shiny, straight, hassle free and tubeless wheels before I hit the road at 80 mph this spring. I appreciate all the offers for used wheels or repair sources but I have decided on new.

 

I received some recommendations for stainless spokes which seems prudent, I also want the spoke and hub style to be 100% factory equipment accurate. Here are the sources I have found. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I can’t imagine that there are four manufacturers making these wheels. I suspect one or two at the most are the root sources of the modern product.

 

For those of you that are so fond of original wheels, I will have four 1955 wire wheels for sale soon. I removed them with my own hands from another C300 in New Mexico in the 70’s. See: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1072476941250&set=a.1072473981176.11609.1505965130&type=3&theater

 

Thank you for your feedback._
