New Replacement Wheels for Hawk

[studegary]

Haven't got my Turning Wheels yet, but figured it had to be only a matter of time before someone had new wheels. But guess I will go ahead with my plan and get the 205's installed on my old rims until I get around to getting new ones from Dave Thibeaux.

Spelling Thibeaux correctly makes more since to me, being from Louisiana, like a rainbeaux, a heauxbeaux, and of course... Geaux Tigers!!!

The problem with your statement is that his name is; Thibeault.

Since you asked.....(Depending on your definition of 'reasonable)
Wheel Vintiques will build you anything you want in a steel wheel.
You can also get them with tires, all mounted and balanced, from Coker tire.

If you DO find some replacement wheels, I think you'll like the look of the larger tires you can mount. A local salvage yard here in Michigan finally came up with a set of Crown Vic rims for me. I mounted some 225x70x15 radials on them and they look great. The clearance by the front fenders is close, but tolerable. But they really fill out the wheel wells nicely.

I used Dodge Intrepid wheels Work fine

There was a recent thread on a 64-65 commander that went off on a tangent about chevy rally wheels. Summit sells dual bolt pattern rally wheels.
They're pretty cheap but I don't know if the offsets are ok and if there's enough room for the stock wheel covers, stude hubcaps won't work. $53.96 ea.

List of other rims, they have some by other companies too. I'm not saying any of these will work. I guess someone will have to try. I'm half tempted to order a set. I think summit has a pretty good return policy if they won't work.

IIRC, all Intrepids are front wheel drive. I would think that the wheel offset would be incorrect and adversly affect the front end geometry of any Studebaker, even though the bolt spacing may be correct and you have fender clearance.
