IML: Wire wheels

You can get new reproduction correct wire wheels from Coker Tire.? About $1k for a set of 4.? Yes, they are available in the correct 5 ½ on 5 bolt pattern.? I do plan on getting some for my ’66 Imperial ‘vert, but first I need to close on my new condo, so I will have to wait, but I now have the correct Triple Band White Walls thanks to Daniel LaPlaunt and his ’65 wanting correct ’65 tires!? Please be aware these are NOT Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, as those were not available, but some other brand at the time.? This has been a topic on the OIC in the past, but I had a crash a couple months ago and lost my entire archive of Imperial stuff.

Can anyone state who the manufacturer was and why the Kelsey-Hayes have the reputation if they were in fact not used?

Thanks,

Hello,

a friend of mine owns a 56 Imperial and is looking for some wire wheels.

Any idea where to get some ?
