15 x 8.5 vectors

[c00nhunterjoe]

Ive got 5 ar turbines that i cant give away. Look very close to the rockets. Also have 8 vectors in 8.5 and 2 in 7....but im not selling those.... lol

Tease! You sure you don't want to sell me two? 

[c00nhunterjoe]

Lol, i have drag radials on a set for cruising and bias slicks on the other set for the track. 2 more are unilug which most frown upon.

[Lennard]

Well, since I need two Vectors for the front I'm not keen on mounting unilugs on there either.  The two 15x10s I have for the rear are unilug. They don't get as many side way forces on them as the steering wheels.

[c00nhunterjoe]

I would love to get a pair of 10s for my car. Nearly impossible to find at a respectable price.

I got these for $125 for the pair.
Can I stuff these under a stock 68 charger well?

They'll fit in the back without rubbing depending on tires.     

[c00nhunterjoe]

Im at the point that if i had someone local, i would trade 4 of my restored 8.5s for a pair of 10s.

Here's how they look on back.

Vectors in general are becoming hard to find, and if you find them with Mopar bolt pattern they want a small fortune for them.
I guess I'm willing to trade the four Rallye wheels I have for sale for two 15x8,5 5on4,5. bolt pattern Vectors

Small update that is appropriate for this thread. This weekend I scored a pair of original AR vectors 15x8.5 for $80 cash. Mopar 4.5 pattern! Deals are still out there!

[Lennard]

Damn, I bought a pair from a member here for $350 a couple months ago.  

[F8-4life]

I found these at a local swap meet. They were asking $150.

[Lennard]

You got an awesome deal!   Even for $150 I would've jumped on them.

Thanks man, it defiantly made my weekend.

I have no problem running unilugs. Get the correct lug nuts and they are fine. We have around 12 sets of Vectors kicking around, there are two sets of actual Chrysler bolt pattern wheels in there if I wanted to use them. The unilugs have never, ever exhibited an issue in the 13 years I have been running them. We have another GL with them we have literally driven in 40 states on over 15 years and never, ever had an issue.

[Mike DC]

Yeah, but jump one decent size creekbed and the wheels are liable to crack at the bolt holes when you hit the ground.     

[Brock Lee]

 

That makes me think of those Vectors we saw at the Veluzat's. The ones with huge chunks missing.

[Mike DC]

Those wheels at the Valuzets' place were BEAT.


I was just in LA a couple weeks ago.  I took a walk through the Valencia property.  It's still there, undeveloped, looking as overgrown as ever.  

The town square set on the Warner Bros backlot has the gazebo removed (in storage.)  The small trees that were growing on the gazebo's island are taller than the buildings now.    

They didn't have their GL on display.  All their other movie cars were temporarily stored for an exhibit of Batmobiles (promoting the Batman vs Superman movie).  

[Brock Lee]

I went to the Valencia ranch a few years ago. It was overgrown and the roads were washed out in spots. There was a memorial across from the Boars Nest parking lot, by the split for the overlook road. So someone must have died there at some time. Going so soon after the wildfires was the absolute best time.

I have been back to the Veluzat's too. They have a warehouse of stuff we never saw. Stacks of GL doors, hoods, fenders, roof skins, pushbars, wheels..etc..ofcourse they refuse to sell any of it..and have no need to.

[Mike DC]

  
I usually take a walk through the Valencia place when I'm in LA (every 2-3 years or so).  I can't remember if I saw that cross there last month or not.  Can't say I was looking for it.  There is always some random crap left in there by local people.  Backpacks, a tent or two, an empty plastic toolbox, a sofa, etc.  


I haven't been back to the Valuzets in a while though.  They have only been open for lookers on certain days.  I might try to make a point of visiting again eventually.

Nor do I, but you have to check them a lot.  Mine tend to get loose after a couple hundred miles and I have to retighten them. 

[Brock Lee]

I never had them loosen up..but until last year I still ran the factory studs (reverse threads on the left)..so maybe now it will change. I will keep an eye on it.

Not saying this is the case, but I knew a guy running unilugs on his Lee that always had them loosen. He was talking about it one day when I was over and I looked at it. His shanks were too long and bottoming out. It was just slightly different from the wheel depth so it felt firm and no visible gap. We ground them down a bit and he says they have been fine since.

8.5 x 15 up front and 10 x 15 in back... Both 10 spoke AR vectors.
