14 X 6.5 Steel Wheel ID

Okay, I need some steel wheel experts. I have a set of 14x6.5 steel wheels dated Sept of '67 with 5 x 4.5 bolt patterns. I don't have any background other than they came off a Mopar possibly a Police Interceptor. The diameter between the hub cap nubs is 9".

Does anyone know the application for these? No Penstar or part numbers on them. Is it possible they were an over the counter wheel for the Super Stock cars, I thought I saw that racers could get wider 14" rims at the dealership? C body application maybe?

Thanks!

Motorwheel 14x6.5" - those are rare as hell. Sept. 12th, 1967 - so they came on a 1968 car - small dog dish caps. I've never had a set of them. Here's a decoder:

From a C-body wagon perhaps ?

I have never seen a set in person until now, but I think a member here might of had one years ago he was inquiring about.

The one I had was made in the USA, very cool to see that they were made in Canada also.

These wheels were a Chrysler part sold via their High Performance catalogs.

See the 14x6.5 wheel references at the 1965, 1968 & 1969 pages below;

Thanks Berry, I kind of thought that might be the case.

Rare is the word I guess?

OK, I had to look this up in my old Hollanders. They are indeed listed: PN 1856773 - '57-59. PN 2122468 - '60-64. PN 2530156 - '65-66. PN 2823780 - '67-68. Chrysler '57-68. DeSoto '57-61. Dodge passenger '63-68. Plymouth '63-68. These are all 5 on 4.5" BP.

I waited to answer, but my original thought was born out, I finally went out to the garage and looked in my 68 parts book ... 68 Chrysler wagon (I think all C wagoons), 14x6.5, #2823 780

I have always been a wide steel wheel sort of guy, and I was always on the look out for the widest factory version for my B cars.

In my area of Vermont, even at 31 63436, 68 C wagons were not common, but I do remember having a set, tho not special enough for me to keep them when selling the car, after all, the look is what attracted me and at least one other person.

Great information guys, Moparts never ceases to amaze me on the knowledge here. So what we have is likely a '68 "C" body station wagon wheel PN 2823780

Or possibly a 67-68 over the counter Chrysler race wheel PN 2122468. The catalog page that Barry posted, in the pic it is hard to see but looks like it could have extra holes next to the lug holes. Maybe Kramer could shed some light on the over the counter race wheels?

I really have no personal knowledge about the 2122 468 wheels, but for some reason it comes to mind, and the fact that they are list for "drag racing and rally" brings to mind the "mostly" 66 rally efforts by Scott (drawing a blank on the last name), which was a factory backed effort, and with me having a 66 Formula S (this was around 67) of course I felt the kinship!

I do remember looking at some of the things listed in the Direct Connection or was it Hustle stuff? catalog and think there were wider, 5"x4" pattern wheels listed, this would be wider than the factory fit 14", 5.5 wide ones ... but that fast manual steering on the "S", and a chance at another 64 Belvedere made me forget about being a rally driver in short order!

So possibly the 468 wheels were small pattern, but I never ordered them, so this is quite literally 56 year old memory speaking so take it for what it is worth!

No, they are LBP.

i believe that may have been me.
someone was interested in that wheel, but when i rigged it up to spin, it was bent.
if i remember, it was .075 or so laterally, and .040 something radially.
well that took the wind out of the sails, and i think i gave it to someone who needed it to use as just a roller..........

i guess it wasn't me Barry.
thanks for clarifying that.
i must be thinking of something else............[not that i'm "cornfuse-ed" easily. ]

Thanks for all the help on this one guys. I really don't have an application for these wheels so I am going to put them in the WIW section and try and get an idea what they are worth.
