Found these wheels on eBay. Am I correct in assuming that these fit C-body as well?

HOW can Recall Wheels be NOS?

 

[polara71]

why not if they were never used, never returned . Remember, they werent recall wheels untill the recall, they were just road wheels

 

[commando1]

I'm going under the assumption all the wheels floating around today are take offs from the recall.

Somebody started repopping the recall wheel in the late 90's when the originals were going for 500-800 bucks each.

8 inches wide but a whole lot cheaper...

At Carlisle this past July I looked at one of the wheels Great Lakes has in this auction for a friend and based on what I saw, they do not appear to have ever been mounted and they are not perfect due to being in storage for a long time.

I kept going, I cant afford to look

@ $1600 a set... I'd take the knockoff... really would love a set of 7" Road Wheels... but I'm too cheap even if I did find them.

I'd take a set of C-body road wheels over those recall wheels, I've never really liked the way they look.

 

[Ironwolf]

For that kind of money I'll keep what I have ......

I like them on what they belong on , the 69s after that ....no

 

[mr. fix it]

I like these much better...

 

[polara71]

That year didn't have a specific road wheel...correct?

 

[72Fury]

They recalled the wheels for what reason? Coming apart or?

 

[70NEWYORKER]

Lug nuts would get loose and the wheels would start cracking around the nuts till it fell off the car.

 

[Carmine]

They recalled the wheels for what reason? Coming apart or?

I don't believe there was ever an actual failure, but there were reports of lug torque being lost on test vehicles, which of course could then lead to cracks. This being Chrysler's first use of an aluminum rim, they played it conservative and recalled the option. That "fear" lasted ten years before they tried aluminum again.

I have a feeling this had more to do with a guy who didn't want the risk vs. an actual defect.

Were those recall wheels available in 14" dia. small bolt pattern also? I recall those offered on 69 cudas.
I'd rather find a set like Mr. Fix it has for my Monaco.

1) yes, I think so.

2) no offense but those rims scream 1980. I like them, but on a Mirada. Stock or period-correct (even in a size up to 17") for me.
