I had looked at some pass wagon rims once. There were 14x6JK rims with just about no offset, giving you a deeper dish look, about an 1" deeper then the chevelle rims. Was the caprice wagon picked over? Maybe it would have some original parts that were used on the chevelles.

Yes, that is exactly why I wanted these. the deeper appearance looks really good with dog dish caps and redline tires.

 

Thanks, will probably be at Hastings tomorrow night. Stop by if your around. Did you ever get your rims?

Hey Jim, I am using 1966 Chevrolet 14x6 JK wheels off of a station wagon.
I like the backspacing on these. they look really deep on the front side.
I found 4 locally, one was pitted, I found another in California, but I still wanted another nice wheel for a spare. I found the 6th one at French Lake junkyard on Tuesday. they just got a 1966 Caprice wagon. Out of the 5 wheels that were with the Caprice only one was the original 14 x 6, but since I only needed one that worked out fine. (too bad it wasn't the spare, I had to get it off the drivers side rear of the car. Had to work for it ).

 

Would you be interested in doing one for a '69?

 

I could probably do that in the near future. The reason I am doing the 1966 is because I am not satisfied with the quality of the reproduction that already exists. Is the quality of the 1969 jacking instructions bad?? I would need a good photo of an original plus an existing reproduction jacking decal to work off of.

 

Hey Jim if they turn out well, I will share.
I will get your mailing address when I get them finished.

 

Would you consider making another one for another MN 66?
