What are the correct wheels for a '65 Malibu SS? And where can I get them?

Re: Correct wheels for '65 Malibu SS
Any pictures of what they look like? I don't need the exact code... just want it to look "right". This is my son's "driver".

Re: Correct wheels for '65 Malibu SS
The OE hub caps aren't real flattering. Here is a pic of them. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/pxtx/1965/65ss.jpg
Note the trim in front of the rear wheels. I beleive this is an early picture of an SS before they were actually released. My 65 is a Nov 64 car and does not have them, although I have not taken the paint away to check for holes.

Re: Correct wheels for '65 Malibu SS
 I've had many combinations on the car and I keep falling back to this look. I like the black wheels whith chrome lugs and chrome dust caps. That pic was Easter Sunday 1992. My pop was backing the car out. After a winter of building the drivetrain I was going to take it out and learn how to drive it (I didn't know how to drive a manual trans). Don't recall how well I did learning, but I do remember asking my pop to flat-shift all the gears throughout the ride to and from the old high school, where I was practicing.

I agree Belair! My pop told me that the guys (including him) in his neighborhood in Chi-town went with that look because they had no dough!

Re: Correct wheels for '65 Malibu SS
I don't have picture of the steel wheel it self but if you don't care about codes them just get a set of steel 14x6 wheels put on tires of choice and add the correct hub caps like the ones shown above.
I believe we have a set of those original style hub caps. May need a little restoring but are complete. I can look if you are interested in them. Rick H.

Re: Correct wheels for '65 Malibu SS
-------Maybe even go to a set of 14/7s. And, if you dont like the factory SS wheels maybe factory wire caps would be cool? ............Bill S
