Wheel Wednesday

When I was taking auto tech courses at Chaffey College, many MANY years ago, they had a school car (an El Camino donated by Chevy, couldn't be street titled or used) that had a pair of the original American REAL MAG mag wheels on the front of it. You could watch em corrode. They ended up getting a coat of paint, if I remember right.....

@Dave6T4 These look pretty good, and I have a couple of questions. 1. After using them for a while, how do you like them, quality wise? 2. Lug nuts: Did you get Left hand nuts for driver side? 3. What size hex? I currently have chrome lugs on my 67R/T with the left hand threads on driver side. They take a 13/16" socket. I see Jeg's say a thin wall socket is required. Will they be usable if I buy the Jeg's wheels? Thanks BBD

Well, I think I got the answer. Looked closer into the Jeg's site and found they sell the lug nuts with a 3/4 hex for these wheels, and didn't see a LH thread option. So I guess I can't use my existing 13/16" x LH nuts....

I had to use 3/4" hex and thin socket. Also, try to get 2" tall lug nuts, because the holes are fairly deep. I had already changed my driver's side studs to RH thread. I found the R/T hub stickers online, and people have asked if wheels where a factory option. My only complaint with the wheels are the tight and deep lug holes, The wheels balanced OK. I thought they were good value for the $$$.
