Hi all, I am looking for 4 original steel rims for a 1963 corvette, A local guy has owned this car since new and put aftermarket wheels on it in the late 60s, it is unrestored original paint and fuel injected, black on black, I will post some photo's as soon as i can, please pm me if you can help with the rims, thanks

I thought all Corvettes had 15" tires and rims back then??

I was told by the original owner they were 14 inch?? He could be wrong??

15" is correct.

My mistake, they are 15 inch that are needed, 15x6 and I believe they are the same as a wagon in 1963.

That should be 15x5"

65-66 had a 15.5 inch wheel... if he wants original '65-'66 wheels, dated, original Kelsey Hayes... I have them. '63-'64 wheels are very hard to find...

Thanks,
Dan

Correction: 15x5.5 is correct. I read my book wrong.....
