I have an I6 with 4 bolt hubs, and want to upgrade to some nicer wheels.
Can anyone steer me toward some "period correct" 4-bolt wheels for a '66 coupe... similar maybe to a 5-spoke torq-thrust, or similar style?
Thanks.

theres only a few rims that fit the 4 lug its cheaper to change it to a 5 lug.

Well then it is four spoke wheel and I have seen once over 25 years ago four spoke wheels which looked like AR Torq, but I think they were Ansen wheels?

At E-bay there is one set of Cragar SS wheels which you might like. Seller tells that bolto pattern is UNiversal 4 lug. 4x4.5" and 4x4.25". So here is link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/13-Cragar-SS-Wheels-S-S-4-Lug-Nova-Crager-Chevy-II-SS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ66480QQihZ008QQitemZ180162046807QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

These may not be period correct but check ebay auction 220154080670. I've read that some of the nissan wheels will fit. The other source out there is from www.classicinliners.com they have retro wheels. They are expensive! But to do a front and rear 5-lug conversion can be too. I'm reading $1000.-$3000.
Good Luck! Lowell
