Re: [FWDLK] Dodge Wheel Size



To Ron & all,

For sure 1959 Dodge had 14” wheels that accepted one of the most iconic and popular spinner hubcaps of its time. 

Many knock off spinners were manufactured for 15” wheels. 

Had to use locks since they were popular targets for Midnight Auto Crowd.

1959 Dodge had 14" wheels. Factory hub caps appear to be 15", but 'teeth' on the inside retain it to a 14" wheel. Standard hub caps have black squares. Spinners have white squares. There are a lot of aftermarket spinners out there in 14 and 15 inch. OEM factory hubcaps are stainless. Spinner is one piece potmetal affixed to this hubcap.

Am I correct that Dodge went to 15" wheels in 1959, from 14" in 57-58?  I have 59 Dodge wheel covers that seem too big for the wheels (14") currently on the car.  My 14" 57 and 58 wheel covers fit fine.......
