DeSoto wheels needed

[Rick Marsh]

I am in need of atleast 4 wheels for a 1935 DeSoto Airflow.  Any leads would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Do they have 10 or 12 holes on them

I have not picked up the car yet.  Here is a picture.  I assume from the picture that they are 12 hole.

I'm looking at the picture and they appear to be the same.  I am not overly concerned about the color.  Where are you located?

Are you still looking 

[Rick Marsh]

I'm interested.  Are you going to be at the Airflow Nationals this July in Independence, Mo?

[Uptowndodge]

No Sir but I can ship greyhound it’s not that bad

I'm interested in the wheels.  Send me a message at ecmarsh@ctc.net and let's see what we can do.

I'm still in need of a set of wheels.  The ones shown in this thread must have come off a DeSoto other than an Airflow because the center hole is way too small.  The center hole for a DeSoto Airflow wheel is about 3 1/4 inches.

 

Please let me know if  any of these wheels are available.

RM, you said "The center hole for a DeSoto Airflow wheel is about 3 1/4 inches" and "because the center hole is way too small" The photo of nice grey wheels look just about the size center hole you are asking for. How big is it? Have you asked the offeree for a measure? Just curious

 

[Rick Marsh]

I'm currently on the Glidden Tour so I am unable to measure it.  They are obviously less than 3/14" as they do not fit onto the DeSoto Airflow axle.

 

If someone has a DeSoto Airstream and would like a nice set of wheels, I would be happy to talk with them.

Reason I mentioned size is that thick powder coating can add significant extra thickness to surface, and in the case of wheel center hole where the orginal fit is snug bare steel to bare steel powder coating may cause a mis-fit. Good luck with your search, nice car.
