rims needed for my 50 Champion

[hebron]

Hi

Anyone in northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin have 4 good 15" rims for a 1950 Champion? It has the 4 x 4 bolt pattern. Price? Well cheap as possible, of course. The bias plys on the car now are in very good shape and I was hoping to put them aside on rims to use for emergencies or possibly retrieving another car. I want to mount some radials on this puppy for a regular driver.


You can leave a message here, or my email tim@btmindustries.com or a call on me cell 815-861-1505.

Thanks

I have 4 15" Champion wheels with P205-75- 15 radials mounted with less than 200 miles on them, narrow whitewalls. Problem is they are in Omaha Ne. I will be coming to South Bend in May and June and could bring them if interested if that helps.Price is $200.00 firm.

That's not an unreasonable offer at all. I was hoping to have them on the car in the next week or so, but that is not critical. I think if we tried UPS it would add another $100+ to the deal. If I do not find some rims in the next week or so, maybe we could work something out with meeting enroute to SB. BTW -- What model tire and why have you decided not to use such a new tire?

Thanks.

Tim,

I've run P205/75R 15 tires on my 1950 Champion's original rims for about two years with no problems. Frank's price for both rims and tires is pretty good![^]

I'll have to go to my storage and look to see what brand the tires are later this evening.I will be busy this afternoon with Easter things but I believe they are an inhouse brand of one of the National tire warehouses though.The reason I have them they were on my 41 Champion and I rodded it and changed all the running gear.The previous owner had put 15" wheels on the car.You are right shipping costs would be prohibitive.

Are you coming to SB for the May 4-5 swap meet? I already have a commitment for that weekend, but maybe I can find someone local who is also going to this swap meet and might be willing to cart these back here. I am assuming that was your trip to SB in May and June. Could be wrong.

Let me know.

Thanks
