Correct wheels
I am trying to find out the correct wheels on a 66bbvert. The car has Hub caps with spinners. But when I removed them it apears to have rally type rims for the center caps and beauty rings.
Thanks Sam

66's had either 15x5-1/2" plain steel wheels with full wheel covers with spinners, or (optional) 15x6" aluminum knock-off wheels. A "clue" to what it had originally is the jacking instruction sticker under the jack compartment cover board (if it's original) - one sticker was for steel wheels, and the other shows the knock-off wheels and spinners.

Sam;
Stock steel rims for a '66 are hard to find. I bent one when a 16 year old tried to use my side of the road. I found one in a Junk yard in ILL. for $250.00
