Zip's 65-66 Reproduction Wheel - 15 X 6

[Mark P.]

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with these reproduction wheels on a C2 ?

I want to use my Kelsey-Hayes OEM 15" X 5.5" for judging with a set of the most correct bias ply repro tires I can find.

I was hoping I can install the Zip repro wheels on my 65 with the P217 70ZR15 Pirelli P4000's.

Both the KH OEM wheels and these have the 3 3/4" backspacing so I was wondering how they would fit in the wheel well. The P4000's with the KH OEM wheel fit pretty close now so I don't want to make it worse.

If both wheels (your K-H 15 x 5-1/2 and the Zip wheel) have the same backspacing, the Zip 15x6 wheels will put the outer edge of the tire 1/2" closer to the body than your K-H wheels do now.

John - that is what I thought. Do you know anyone making a 5.5" repro for a C2 ?
