One More Car Part! Looks Like a Muscle Car Rim, but not Positive.

My guess is that it's a 15" rim, but I'm not 100% sure. Let me know if you think this is worth dragging home!

5 lug 15 inch steel wheel. Nothing special that I can see. Maybe $5?

Chevy rim

Some measurements would help narrow it down a bit. What is the diameter of the bolt pattern? Measure from the center of one hole to the outer edge of an opposite hole. Also, you can determine the diameter of the rim by measuring the total diameter and then subtracting the width of the lip (where the wheel weights would attach). In other words, from bead to bead. On appearance, it's no older than the 60's. Earlier wheels had clips to hold hub caps on. You can also look next to the valve stem hole. Sometimes a makers mark is there or on the flats between the stud holes. Another place for them is stamped on the inside surface (where the air would be!)

Five bucks? Have you been to a salvage yard lately? I pay $30 each for my 94 Corolla rims! Guess I'm going to have to drag this home as well. I really need to know what vehicle this goes on!

Even looks similar to my 62 TBird (Ford) rims...

I find them to be cheap and still use tubes because the rims leak...

Just gave 2 of them away...

Could be anyones rim until you find the stamp with the numbers. Chevy Ford Dodge Willys etc all had 5 hole patterns for their cars. Pattern size as mentioned above and the stamp will narrow it down. Then you will have to go on a quest for finding it. Kelsey Hayes wheels are the easiest. If it is a rare steelie then you could have a little money. If it is off a 1972 Vega then not so much

Looks worthless to me, I'd leave it right where you found it unless you have a metal scrap pile going!


Sent from a empty soda can!

if you have a small row boat, it might make a decent anchor

Okay, it's a 15x5 rim with a 4.75" bolt pattern. Probably isn't worth squat, but I need to know!

Look under the leaves for the rest of the car.

60's Camaro has that pattern

It's from the 1950's. Notice how wheel is raised inside. old stock small hub caps fit great, but we wanted spinners on there. Some fit, most didn't. I remember those battles. Unless it is stamped GM, it's probably an old Ford. Should say FOMOCO somewhere. Solution was to have the wheels chromed or go cheaper with Baby Moons that fit that inside area. Very collectible, very hard to find.

If those measurements are correct, it's likely an early to mid 60's Chevy or '64-6 Olds F85. That's not a real common size but unless you're doing a restoration, it isn't worth much either.....especially in that condition.
