Re: [Chrysler300] Availability of Replacement 14" 300 Wheels

Tony,

I have used an interchange manual for some parts and it may be useful 
for sorting out the wheel interchanges. It is an interchange manual for 
1950-65 Chrysler Products.  There are 4 pages devoted to wheels and hub 
and drum.  They do not refer to 300's specifically however.  Below is 
the link to obtain the manual for any of you that may be interested.  
Tony, I will copy the 4 pages along with the instruction page and fax 
them to you if you give me a fax number.

I may be interested in a set of them for my '61 New Yorker Hardtop 
wagon (which by the way had a set of Good Year Captive-Airs from the 
factory.)

Another question......should we just assume that all 14 wheelcovers 
will work if the  F  one fits fine?  I guess so since the offset should 
provide more clearance.  I only bring that up since I tried to put a 
'67-68  300 wheelcover on my '61 Newport wheel and it would not fully 
seat due to the deep inset of the wheelcover.

   Hi to all,

Frank Mauro has agreed to make up a wheel after he receives mine.

Mac The Hammer AKA Jim McMullan as agreed to bring by an original "F" 
hubcap
to Stockton when the wheel is ready.

Frank Mauro also wants to bring in a car to actually put the wheel on 
to OK
clearances.

I am hoping that Mac would volunteer to do this.

NOW!!! To answer all the other questions regarding will they fit "C"s, 
"D"s
etc. Now is the time for the list's expertise to shine.

Who can tell us if the original 300 OEM wheels are the same or 
different.

How about parts books. Interchangeable parts books?

Frank can't answer those questions.

If no one knows then someone has to send an original "C" etc to Stockton
Wheel.

See my separate post for "G" 15 inch questions.
