Greetings all,

I hope this is a relevant forum to post my question. I could not find previous threads that dealt with this matter, anywhere on this site.

I have 14" rims on my 69 RR, and cannot find suitable tires for it anywhere in the universe. Therefore I am wanting to replace them with 15" rims. But I desire to retain the original look of the OEM wheels, and I am even hoping that the dog dish hub caps would fit on them (but not a necessity to me). My plan is to paint the rims gloss black, and ordinarily not have the hub caps on them.
Does anyone have any ideas for me, on where to obtain such a set of rims?
Thank you very much! My narrow 14" rear tires just do not do my RR justice.

Got mine from summit racing but have the ones with cut out's. Comp. was one set for the rear then Bart rims for the front. 8 inch rear and 7 inch front's. 4 1/2 back set rear and 4 1/4 front. Here is what these look like. This is till I can get my Cragar mag's. They may have them with out the slots. Not bad on the price front two for just over 100 buck's and the rears where not that much more. Hope this help's :thumbsup2:IMG_0105.JPG

I went the other direction with wheels n tires. She had a staggered set of 17s on her and I replaced them with stock 15 road wheels. I still need to change to the correct tooth speedometer gear as she currently shows about 10 mph over what I’m actually running.
