Re: {Chrysler 300} 57 300C wheels

Hi to all,

Original Chrysler hubcaps fit the Stockton wheels. 

A Chrysler mechanic who worked on these beasts when they were new told me that the original wheels flexed too much to accept radial tires that put more lateral stress on the wheels. 

I worked with the original owner of Stockton Wheel (Frank Mauro, since deceased) to manufacture modern radial wheels for our cars. His main wheelwright eventually took over the business. Best to call them not e-mail and use their order numbers from this article.

Please be aware that these modern wheels are “Lug Centric” because the center hole doesn’t fit exactly to the hubs. It is larger. Be sure to order lug nuts with larger heads in RH or RH/LH threads where appropriate. Also, it is a good idea to have them powder coated since hubcaps grab better and 2 bumps on either side of the valve stem hole that keep the hubcaps from creeping and pinching the valve stem.

You are right. Rims are 14 x 6.5.  I think that Stockton Wheel may be the answer. I have an email out to them. Thanks!
