Nice driver quality. No center caps. The chrome on the wheels are worn in spots. No serious rust. . .four of the wheels still have the original rubber liner.

MrEarl Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 See what you started Smitty. Hopefully Dan accepts my offer but if not at least we're keeping this to the top for him. BTW just make mine a half bushel of steamed (or raw) oysters and a twelve pack of Goose Island. After all September has an R in it so it's time for oysters.

RivNut Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Someone local has them on a 66 Riviera, and they look good on it too. Maybe they would look nice on my 63!A 1964 Sunburst Yellow with the Kelsey/Hayes wire wheels won best of show at the 2010 ROA International event held in Harrisburg, PA. Any first generation Riviera with wire wheels looks good; I'm sure that's why a wire wheel cover was an option for those years. If you can find a set, new or used, go for it!Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Well, well, well. Got the Kelsey Hayes Wire wheels today but must say, not quite what I expected. Just a little bit rougher condition than anticipated. Oh, and they're only 3.5 inches wide....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 JUST KIDDIN y'all. The one in the picture is one from a junkyard that happened to be sitting close by and I couldn't resist givin Dan a hard time. The ones I received are BEAUTIFUL. Better than I expected since you really can't tell what you're looking at in pictures of chrome. Got 4 of them today and tracking shows the other one should be here Monday. THANKS DAN!!!! Can't wait to get some 8.00's and swap them out on Morning Glory. Gonna shine like the morning dew in the sunshine on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Buick Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Welcome to the world of detailing wire wheels!! Now you will find yourself pulling them off twice a year to properly clean front and back. Set one wheel at a time on two saw horses, spray the hell out of it with detailer and run a rag through the spokes form above and below the wheel. And that will get the outer rim. Inner piece is just plain torture on the fingers and hands.But boy, they look good! Congrats! I'll look forward to seeing them next month...
