I'm working on a pair for the rear of my '64 using 5.5" Porsche 912 rims. They don't have a safety bead so the lip is smooth all the way out. The drop center is farther inward than most so they look deeper than they actually are.
Will be painted L289 Blue-White and L41 black with a narrow portawalls to match the original spare.

What backspace did you end up with on the 5.5" wheels ??

welding a stock smoothie into a 19" hoop? Kind of a shot in the dark but I think some dodge's have 19" steel wheels as spares.

That what it looks like, a whole smoothie into a 19" hoop. Looks strange with all the steps from the center to the outer edge of the rim.

Ive come across this car on here before...its just a really good looking setup and I thought that when I first saw it. Im not a big fan of slot rims but for some reason they look good on this car.
