Default Wheel spinners

I bought the spinners for my rims not knowing that they were for the aluminum rims only. I have the ralley rims on my 79 and the back ones will not go on. I am about to have a piece welded to the rim because I really want to put them on. Any ideas???? :beatdeadhorse:

I would look carefully at them to see if a little machining could make them fit. I dont have your wheels.
I had the spinners for my 78 aluminum wheels and decided to put them on my Grand National instead. All I had to do was put the thing the spinners screw into on a lathe and take them down a little. I just kept machining them and dry fitting them until they fit good and tight.
You might be able to do something similiar, or do a little welding.
Good luck.
