~~~1965 65 Barracuda Cuda WHEELS / wheel covers! ~~~
I see that you know about the Formula S 14 inch hubcaps/special lug nuts I have for sale here on FABO -
http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=126769 - not sold yet. I wasn't thinking about the wheels/tires (195- 70 x 14) that on on the Valiant now, but guess I could move the car and get them pulled off if need be.
HELLO! Actually, I did not know of yurs.
Well...okay it appears that like when I start with any new type of cars I know little about, I have what turns out to be expensive tastes!
When I started reading and found these cars has 13" wheels I thought, "Nope - I'll have to change that somehow".
But I like things stock. So...14" stock wheels and covers?
Then I have seen 2 sets of 14" wheelcovers for sale.
So they exist. That's what I want, I decided.
Only 2 sets I have found (both junk) in the last bunch of months...only 2 sets!
Well now I know why...because they hardly put them on any of these cars originally it seems!
Really not wanting to deal with tiny wheels on a heavier, V8 car.
Dealt with the 13" wheel B.S. with early Ford falcons.
I liked them, then realized they ran on tiny roller skate wheels.
So to keep them looking stock but driving better, AND have good tire option in radials or Coker bias...you can use later Falcon 14" stock ones.
But you need to some some selective rear end/brake swaps done.
At least with Cudas you can just bolt the 14" lstock wheel sone...trouble is you have to find them!
Nothing's easy I guess.
***Dartman - I would be interested in the wheels...but the covers are rough.
Please PM me and let me know a $, okay? Thanks.
Greyhound, FedEx Ground and UPS are the best options to ship them I suppose.
