Converting to 15-inch Super Stock II / III wheels with snap-in center hub. Many sellers offering assortment of 15-inch trim rings. Looking for source(s) to purchase correct fit and appearance trim rings. Are there sources other than Fusick, YearOne and OPGI? What is the correct depth and contour (smooth or ribbed) of outer edge of the 15" Super Stock trim ring? Thanks.

 

Take a look at Coker #3004 and see if they might work for you.

Couldn’t find that number with the search field on Coker website. Coker sells wheels and tires. Do they sell trim rings? Thanks.

 

Place an ad in the Parts Wanted section - perhaps someone has a set or knows of some availability.

 

Used ones are out there, in varying degrees. I used to scour the swap meets. Now I have 5 great but not perfect ones. I still look at ads on CO and at swap meets but I never see any better than I have- used I mean. Yeah new ones are available and NOS but priced thru the roof!

 

Tom, here are pictures of GM rings I bought from Olds in the late 70s. By the part number, they were the same ones that came on the mid-70s cars with 15" SSIIs.
It's hard to get a good shot of the edge details. I can give you measurements if you need them.
Good luck.

Thanks all for your replies.

Nice wheels Gary. I have NOS from late ‘70’s as well, but on 14” wheels. Noticed your tire profile size is 275 - what size is the total tire diameter and where did you obtain? I was planning to install 245/60R15 on my wheels.

 

Thanks, Tom.

Those are just Goodrich Radial T/As from Discount Tire, with the white letters coated in black rubber and turned inward.

I have 275/60 on the rear where there is a lot of room (it's a 28" tall tire with 11" section width) and 255/60 on the front. I didn't have concern about the tall tire because I have a 4.10 rear gear ratio with a 2.66 first gear. The car has 53% of the weight on the rear, hooks up easily, and feels like a 12-second car until I get out of first gear.

The factory tire was H78-14 at 27.8" tall, so these fill the wheel wells similarly.

Nice set up, Gary. And thanks for the helpful info on the tires.
