Default 67 Knock Off Wheels

Are 63-66 K.O. wheels usable with 67's?
Thanks!

The cover page of the 67 AIM shows a 67 with KO's. They got around to changing part of the picture, but not all of it. No reason they won't fit, but they may look a little funny. If you're buying, I think the bolt ons are a little cheaper and certainly less trouble.

You would need an adapter, right?

The simple answer is, yes. I took my 64 KH's and put them on my 67 along with the adapters that bolt to the hub....Frank

Nope, not really. Got a slide of the 64 but none of the 67. Cars were throw aways back then so why would we care, we thought...Frank

Class 72,
Where did you get your repo 67 wheels from? How satisfied are you with them? They're an option I wish I had ordered back in '67 and have considered buying some repo's a number of times since---I actually like the looks of them better than the earlier knock-offs.

Class 72, Thanks for the e-mail---I added the link to my favorites file for whenever I break down and spend the money that I should have spent 35 years ago. With inflation being what it has, the repo's are probably cheaper then the originals---and numbers matching isn't a big thing with me.
Thanks again.

How do you get the knock-off's off if the spinners won't budge? I think I have seen a tri-head thingie with a long bar for removing stubborn ones in the past. Anyone, know where to find one or another method of removing them?
Thanks

You MUST beat the holy s__t out of them! Just make sure you have removed the locking pin under the cap first... :smash: You did remove the locking pin, right?
