How hard is it to redo a set of these? The car is on ET wheels now, but there were also a few sets of the SSI and SSIIs in the garage and I'd like to get it back on the originals.

Also, the current wheels had drivers side flat tires from sitting so long, passenger side were fine. The car is on jack stands now and I took the ET wheels with me back to NC. They are holding air and I am wondering since the sidewalls were dry rotted so bad, should I just replace for transport back to NC on the car hauler? I'm afraid when I put weight on these that something bad will happen on the trip back. Maybe I'm being too cautious. I can post pics of the tires if that helps.

 

If your just using them as rollers with no driving I'd say your ok for transport.

 

Yeah, these would be transport only. The outer rubber is cracked like mad, but like I said they do hold air. I brought them back with me just in case they didn't and I had to replace with some cheap ones to get it rolling.

I'm glad the ones on the pass side were full. He had it pinned in close to the shelving on that side. Would not have been a fun job to get those ones off.

 

Here are the wheels that I found. Not original to the car, but may have went with the other one, "The Blue Ghost." This is an assumption on my part that these aren't original to this car, based on the color.

 

If your car is a 1970, those are correct. No body colored Super Stock wheels on 1970s except for pace cars and Rallye 350s. They were all Argent Gray.

I've redone numerous sets of each type wheel with nice results. Just don't media blast the SSI spokes, and check that the lug holes aren't all stretched out on the SSIs before starting work. For SSIs, lots of masking tape or the pre-done masking kits available from some vendors, satin black in the front face, and a razor blade to clean up any overspray worked wonders. I also now have a couple beautiful low mile originals to use as templates, especially for what the backs looked like before road salt, etc.

He has a set of the SSIs though too. Would the originals to the car be coded on the tag in the trunk? I haven't tried searching for that yet.

 

Found the factory pricing on the SSI option. More expensive than the SSII. I wouldn't have figured that. http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/membe..._SPECS_Jan.pdf

 

What tag in the trunk are you referring to?

 

I meant the build sheet. Thinking one thing and typing another. Sorry. Plus, the terminology is somewhat new to me. My bad.

 

Let me know if you need a few spare SS-2's wheels for your 70 in argent.
My 70 442 came with 3, but I could care less for them. These will have the bolt on caps as well. I am going to keep the spare as it has a wide O oval.

 

Thanks! I have a full set, but I didn't take too close of a look at condition. I know one was extremely rusty around the inside lip. Also it had a different, shorter center cap that just had a friction grip to the wheel, vs the 3 other center caps which were longer and had 5 bolts each.

 

What would you need each for them? I'm thinking I might just need one (with the bolt in center), but unsure until I get back to verify condition on the others.

 

I would have to get the old tires removed 1st, figure $50 each plus shipping.
The do have their original trim rings so that's a plus. Here are some pics.
Not the best shots, it was dark.

 

Were these all the same width? 14 inch right? I'll have to let you know in a few weeks because I am in NC now and the wheels are in PA.

 

The Jack stowage decal on the trunk will give you a clue as to which rim came with the car.

 

Yes. Should be 14X7 if I remember right.

 

Thanks for the tip. I will eventually report back what I find. Gotta get this car moved to NC. Would make things a heck of a lot easier.
