Toronado/Eldorado Rims




In the early 1970s, there was a company that made aftermarket rims for Toronado’s and Eldorado’s. The company was called California Wheel Corp. As most snow, that the offset on the Toronado is so great that there is a very limited supply of aftermarket rims to fit these cars. I found a set on eBay but they came with only three center caps. The dimension of the center hole is 3 1/4 inches. Does anyone know of somebody that would have these rims or anywhere I can find some center caps that will fit? Thank you in advance

Those caps look like something I have seen on a Lincoln.

There's a gentleman in the Toronado Owners Association that knew tons about all of the aftermarket wheels that were available. Any chance you're a member?

Only the same lead that I mentioned in 2019. If you're not a member already, look into joining the Toronado Owners Association. Back at a 2016 club function, one of their members shared a wealth of information with me about the aftermarket wheels that were made for our cars. I suggest joining the club and reaching out to one of their technical resources.

Link to that wheel info page should be a sticky in Toro Forum. That info is gold.
