    64 wheels

    need some ideas about the best way to go with a set of wheels on my 64 coupe.
    right now it has 67 rallys on it with Michelin radials.
    1st choice was to find KH wheels,original hubcaps and repo tires for judging.
    2nd choice was to buy a set of repo knockoffs with repo tires and use these for driving and judging.
    3rd choice was to find original KO's but my pockets are not that deep right now.

    The coupe is daytona blue and the rally wheels look great and the radials ride & handle nice.
    I love the looks of the KO wheels for this car too but if they are repos I'll loose points anyway.
    I'm also concerned about some of the stories about loosing a KO wheel.

    Any suggestions? judging?

    Hi Steve, you might consider the aftermarket KO bolt on wheels if you are concerned about loosing a true KO. I have KO wheels on my 63 and I must admit it does concern me too. I think I may just be paranoid!

      Steve, make sure you check the judging guide for 64 knock off wheels. I think it mentions that the first documented KO application in 64 was around VIN # 5000. If you have a very early car, you will loose all the points for those wheels, original or repro.

        Thanks for the input on this.
        From a judging point of view is there any difference between a/mkt KO's or the 67 Rally wheels? I would assume I will take full deduct for both.
        .
        I see two different style hub caps for my year as well. Some have an argent color in the inserts and some are polished looking. Which would be correct for a car built in mid April?
        I would also appreciate any clear photos and/or specs for the wheels that would be correct for my car.

          Steve, My 64 is a March 64 can and had the frosted style hub caps. Don't any info on what dates things changed. Still have 3 caps and one of the polished caps I aquired in the 70's.
          As for KO's, yes they look great. Also concerned about the wheels falling off since in the 60's had many friends tell me of wheels passing them and then Bang, .
          I have used Loctite 592 thread sealant. Talked to factory about what to use and that's their answer. At first I used the RED Loctite and then wanted to remove the wheel - factory told me HEAT and more HEAT with some luck, so do not use that stuff!
          Also have an original 64 steel wheel and white wall tire, still like new.
          If you need any photo's I can take, but have a problem posting them. I think I could email them as an attachment directly to you. My take me awhile, but can put on the to do list, just let me know.
