SSII wheel hoops

SSII wheel hoops
I am looking to pick up some 15" wheel hoops that would work for the Oldsmobile center diameter. I have a set of 14x6 bolt on cap centers cut out on a lathe and would like to convert them to 15. The only hoops I can find are for the larger Chevy Corvette style centers.

I have a set of 15x7 snap wheels but I want the bolt on centers. I see what you are saying but I don't want to pull apart the snap center wheels. Not a bad idea though.
Funkwagon, I see mcwheels has the chrome hoops. I did send a message but haven't heard back. I am also looking at building some 15" nova 6 hole rally which have the same hoop and center as the oldsmobile rally.

This thead got me thinking about a source for the SSII/III hoops (bands) again. As have others, I've been searching on and off for a while now. I just happened to stumble over a website for a company called Race Engineering, in Australia. They list wheel bands in 15x8 and 15x10 sizes with a 312mm inside diameter. For the metrically challenged, that is just about 12.25", which is exactly the size of the SSII/III wheel center disk. (Note that the wheel bands that Speedway Motors sells have a 12.625" I.D.) The photo of drop center wheel bands on their website looks promising. I've fired off an email; we'll see what comes of it next week. At this point, I don't even know if they will ship to the U.S. Any interest in a lot buy if I can work a deal on these?

When I sourced the last three ten inch hoops from Jimmy at Rally America, he told me that if I needed more they could probably be sourced from Carlisle Wheel in Ontario California. I'm sure that if they do have them, they would be available in 7"-8" flavors as well. He also had mentioned that they likely only come by the pallet load. This could potentially be a less expensive option for those of us in the USA or Canada..

I think the SS1 wheels are the same but measuring would be a good idea. I want to say all 14" gm wheels have the same diameter but I may be wrong. I wonder if the 14" chevy rally wheel has the same inner diameter.

In Googling Carlisle Wheel, I found that their parent company (the Carlstar Group) also owns Cragar.
By the way, I heard back from the company in Australia. They said they buy their hoops from a source on the east coast of the US, but did not provide a name. Still searching.

The information was found on a mopar forum. One guy was purchasing them from Carlisle in pallets. I have emailed that guy and will see what I can come up with.
