Special wheels needed

smallblock450sl · 03-23-2013, 11:30 AM

Anyone know of where I can get 10"/12"/13" maybe 14" , 3 1/2" wide wheels (and tires) that look like Centerlines with the standard 4 on 4 bolt pattern? Thanks for any leads, Dave

Have you checked any mini cooper forums? Or try early chevy corvair sources. I had a 64' corvair and I ran 17x7" wheels on it that were dual bolt pattern metric but measured 4 on 4" SAE. OEM wheels on the corvair were 13x5". Also didn't the fox body mustangs run a 4 bolt pattern that measured 4 on 4" or were they 4x4.14" like a lot of import cars...i.e. honda, Nissan? Maybe any of these could be a good lead into finding the Centerlines. Also, did Weld Racing make those wheels? Anyway, hopefully you'll have good luck finding them.

The Vega and Monza were 4"x4 as well.I think the Pinto may have been.Check Ebay,there are probably some old drag-fronts there.

Ahh brain fart! Cenerline was or is a company in itself. No correlation with Weld Racing. I think I got it right:rolleyes:.

Gotta love those funny cars and dragsters from the 70's! I have a cousin named Mike Burkhart that drag raced all throughout the 50-80's. Called him Big Mike!

I think Centerline will make anything you want if possible, I had a couple of 3 1/2 X 15 4 lug convo pro's made a few years ago. I'm thinking around 150 a piece, I would just call and ask they are not like Weld they will sell to the public.

Yeah I would ask the company. Like Lurch said. Also I ran into this problem with a past project (94' Impala) that I was running Eagle Alloys series 212 size 20x9.5" and I had hit a curb and ruined a rim...the wheel was discontinued but they were nice enough to re-tool another rim for a replacement...and for standard cost of an in-stock wheel.

Thanks guy's

I had a set on my old V-8 Vega, but seems a web search has come up no go. Seems the aluminum scrap industry has taken the old wheels

Don't think 15's will work, but could do some measureing.

I think they will make 14's.
