repro stamped steelies

[Bill Rose]

Have any of you folks bought/used the repro stamped steel wheels, like the ones Coker sells. One of my winter projects is to get the original wheels with dog dish caps, back on my 68 as the original owner said it was delivered from the factory.

I have a real nice set of dogs, and a set of newer stamped steel wheels (thanks Tom Rightler) but the back spacing isn't quite right. Coker sells 14"X 6" stamped steel wheels, with 4&1/4 backspacing which is the same backspacing as the XE wheels originally used from the factory.

I just ordered one to see how close to original they look, but was wondering if anyone has used these wheels. If so, are you happy with the look, fit, quality, etc... Thanks, BR

BTW: I spoke to Dave Dodd last week and he said the original steel, dog dish wheels, which he still has from his 68 Chevelle, are body color (blue in this case) on the outside, black on the inside, with some blue over spray which came thru the holes in the wheels.
