Does anyone have a Superbird wing for sale? Original or nice repro.

I think your right about the chrome wheels but I mostly saw the emblems on Fords with the 15's.  These are 15 X 8's on my 69 with spinners that they didn't come with.

I like the spinners on your Magnum 500's.

I'd like to put a set of those on my Daytona clone.

Any trouble getting to the lug nuts with a lug wrench with the spinners on?

I had a guy tell me this was a problem with the spinners.

He was selling Mag 500's and spinners and warned me of this.

Are those 15X8's on the front of your car? If so, what's the backspacing?

:cheers:

Thanks. It can be a little tricky.  I sorta split the difference as best I can with the spinners arms to the lug nuts.   I either will use a socket with a small dia extension or a lug wrench similar.  I also have the spinners just tight enough to hold firm but where with a little force can rotate by hand just enough if things are tight.  Other than that I haven't had any problems.  I'll have to check the back space for ya.  I picked up the spinners at the Autofair but the rims came with the car when I got it way back but they are 15 X 8 repops.  :cheers: back at ya.

Good info on the spinners :2thumbs:

I've heard of some guys having interference problems with the upper control arm/ upper ball joint area with 15X8's on the fronts of 68-70 B-bodies.

I'll be buying my wheels in the next few months, and would like to go 15x8's all around.

Info from guys like you who have them on their cars will really help me choose the right wheels. :2thumbs:

I had my shop doors open today too and blew my shop out and blew all seams and holes for an hour trying to get all of the media blasting sand and dust out of my car as I will be priming soon. My reality is a little different than yours so I thought I would share. This is looking out my second shop! It was 28 below last week!

I guess home is where the heart is. The south isn't perfect by any means. Gets extremely hot here for a few weeks a year. But it's only extrmely cold (20 degrees or lower) for just a few weeks as well. So I guess it all equals out. We did get almost two inches of snow here this year. Was gone the next day though.
