Hello, I was wondering were do I get new(repo) rims to accept my stock Hubcaps?
Who has the best prices? And were can I get them.
I have only found the cop car ones. My car had the org hub caps in trunk, but 3 different rims came on the car when I got it,none of witch were the correct rims for the caps to install on.
Also stock, they were 14 inch, do they make a 15 inch rim that will take the stock(14inch) hubcap?(my caps are what came on the "White hat special" cars)
My car is a 383 4bbl/auto A/C car. So I think all rims were the same when car was new, VS the ones that had wider rims in the rear and slimmer up front.
Thanks for your help.

Coker Tire now makes a stock steel Mopar wheel. That's the only place I know of.

Ok cool, I will have to check them out.
Have you ever heard or know of a 15 inch wheel that will take the 14 inch stock hub caps?
I was thinking of maybe getting a extra set of hub caps and putting my cars originals away and modify a set of 14 inch cap to fit the 15 inch rim, unless that would just end up looking stupid.

15" steelies with the correct bolt pattern that take caps are common on some C-bodies, & 1/2 ton trucks & vans.

There was a build thread where someone did a one-off set of aluminum rims that mimicked the 69 wheel covers.  Can't find it at the moment.  If you can weld stainless without distortion, I'm sure there's a solution.   ;D
Mopar forever!

Yeah I was thinking the 15 inch wheels that take the 14inch wheel covers would be a custom home made job. Maybe mounting tabs so the covers can be bolted on with two small bolts/screws.
My car is a"white hat special" and I want to run the hub caps that came with it, but on my 1966 Charger I ran Magnum 500's that were 14 inch and I only had two tire choices, Cooper Cobra, or BF's.
I was thinking 15 inch would help with tire choice and what not.
