1956 wheels?

[Garry Barnes]

Any concensus out there on whether the correct corvette wheel for 1956 is rivited or welded? I used to have a great article around here from the late Ralph Krueger but I can't find it. Thanks for any opinions or help.

Gary,

I've checked the archives on this topic and the consensus a few years ago seemed to be that for the 5 inch wheel, the switch from riveted to welded wheels occured early in the 56 model year.

Curious if any new revelations have occured recently though...

Garry I'm the one that wrote about the welded wheels in SACE years ago , then NCRS picked it up in their JM, Mid?-late 55 had them also.

So Roy, you are saying that they should be welded?
