Default knock offs listed craigslist.houston $850

Don't know anything except what I read. Not a bad price unless they are really beat up.

They look like 63-64 knock-offs; no dark paint between the fins.

Only posted 3 wheels; hummm, maybe only selling three? Or maybe the fourth one is beat up. Good price for these if they're in OK condition

Default Repro 15x8 Western Wheel Knock-offs

I sent the guy an email. Here's his response:

These were on a 79 vette. I have a 65 that I bought them for but with the tires that are on them now (255/60/15) they won't fit a C2

Corvettes of Houston told me they will fit on an older vette with smaller tires.

There is no curb rash. they are 15x8 size made by Western Wheel Company who I believe also made the originals in 1960's

And yes this is for 4 wheels

Thanks Jim

It looks like neither he or anyone at Corvettes of Houston knows much about knock-off wheels if they think those will fit on a midyear and the originals were made by Western.
