My '64 Convertible was fitted with early Taiwan knock-offs when I purchased the car. On the way home with it the right front wheel came off while making a slow, thank goodness, left turn. Some damage to the fender well, one broken mail box post and major anti knock-off feelings for me.
I'm now road testing after complete rebuild and I find myself stopping every two blocks to see if my bench marks for spinner to wheel are still lined up. Phooey!
I've tried to find a set of late '63 steel wheels to no avail. Coker Tire and Paragon offer a 15 X 5 with 1" offset which has the hubcap humps. The center hole is larger than original which concerns me more than the increased off-set.
Has anyone installed these wheels? Any problems?
Thanks for your help.
