19" Spoke Wheels?

(1/2) > >>

sixball:
I got these 19" wire wheels for my roadster. I will use at least two of them and would like a pair of the stock Bowtie caps for them. I bought a new set of repos that I thought would fit but they are too small. Does anyone know what year these came on and what caps will fit? I had the wheels powder coated at Les Schawb. They provide the service for a decent price. They don't pack them well to return them.

EDNY:
Can't help you with your question...but when I was helping Glen Rarick dig out my 34M frame last week we had to move a set of (5) Chevy wire wheels like yours that were blasted and painted white and wrapped in plastic.

sixball:
Thanks Ed. I have seen these in 18" and 19". I have the 19" with 4.00x19 motorcycle tires for the front and am thinking of running solid wheels on the  rear as was common on the dry lakes and Bonneville.

RoarsRods:
Sixball sorry that your new wire wheels don’t fit! Very cool vintage look on these early Chevrolet Cars! With my recent 34 Roadster build my plan was to do wire wheels! But as I was doing my homework with size and fitting plus also fitting my brakes setup I was looking at around $2k per wheel! I liked them a lot but not the the price! So that’s what changed my mind to go a different wheels with Coker Rocket polished aluminum halibrand style wheels 17x8 rears and 15X6 fronts with bf Goodrich tires all around! I think I’m running 45 series on the rears and 50 series on the fronts from memory! My car tracks out on the open highway all day long at 75 mph at 3000 rpm! RoarsRods

ChevRon:
 !930 Chevys had 19" spoke wheels . They make repo hubcaps but aren't cheap.  I think 30 thru 32 hubcaps are the same size. If I'm wrong delete me Ron
