[Chrysler300] IMPORTANT Special Stockton 300 Replacement Wheels

[Tony Rinaldi <awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi to all,

We are getting down to the end of this project. I have just gotten of the
phone with Frank Mauro and here are the final specs:

*15 inch wheels. He will make a 15x7 with a 4 1/2 inch backspace which is
analogous to the special police wheel.
There will be NO slots or vents. Based upon this information, please send me
your pre orders AGAIN if you are interested in these wheels and we will see
if we have the minimum number.
If we do then he will make up a prototype to try on a G.

*14 inch wheels. They will be 14x7 with a 4 1/2 backspace.

******We need an F or a 1960 Chrysler to go by to Stockton for fitment.
Please consider volunteering.*****

Both wheels will have the rib inside that resists throwing the tire. This
has been standard since the mid 1950s.

We will deal with fitment on the rest of the alphabet once we fit the Gs and
Fs.

Tony

Tony, I have decided not to order any new 15" wheels from Stockton Wheel.
Frank said that he will produce 15x6 new wheels which are the same width as
the ones on my H (15x6K), so there would be no benefit to me. I did show an
H wheel to Frank last week which he measured. Since I work in Stockton, I am
willing to help in any that I can even though I don't want any new wheels at
this time.  Doug Warrener

Hi to all,

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING THE STOCKTON WHEEL PROJECT.

I want to thank all of you who have participated in this project. I have
your names, ranks and serial numbers. We have plenty of 14 inch pre orders
and minimal 15 inch pre orders. The 15 inch guys are chomping at the bit
though.

Special thanks to the "G" guys who have brought all the samples and also
there will be someone driving their "G" to Stockton to try on a wheel.

My "F" wheel just got delivered and there will be an "F" hubcap brought over
in addition to the 1960 Chrysler regular hubcap that I sent.

WE NEED SOMEONE TO DRIVE AN "F" OVER TO STOCKTON once he has made up a
prototype.

We are losing some good will with my contact @ Stockton who has been most
cooperative since he has gotten 40 phone calls directly from various people
and some of us have "spun his wheels".

Got to straighten some things out:

1. These wheels are at a special price including powder coating. $85 for 14
inch and $105 for 15inch.

2. Regarding the 15 inch wheels, he had made them for someone before and
they are readily available for $135 each. We must pre order 24 wheels to get
the special price. So far we have 4 from Jeff Gretz - with interest from Ed
Jasinski and from Tony Bevacqua. There may be more.

3. These wheels are an OEM replacement that is made to modern standards (AND
ARE STRONGER) and will support radials, in addition to bias ply, and will
accommodate discs as well as drum brakes. Forgive me if I construed that as
meaning "racing" wheels. I also would have considered the original 300
wheels as racing wheels. Nuf Said!

4. How about having the C-D-E-H-J & L owners wait until the "F" 14inch
wheels are prototyped and tried on a "F" and the "G" 15 inch wheels are
tried onto a "G" and then see if they fit the rest of the alphabet.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Tony
