Well I'm in the process of finally wiring up my 69' project Deville and should have it running very soon however in the process of inspecting everything it appears one of my wheels has been cut where the lugs go (like plasma cut the hole bigger) so I need to get a new wheel for the Cady to make sure she's safe to drive. Let me know what you have, thanks.

Anyone? A 5x5" wheel?

Where are you? Alot of GM cars had 5X5 wheels as well as 5 lug 1/2 ton trucks. They'll bolt on. I think I've got a wheel from a late 60-early 70's Cad. I'm in Wichita, Kansas.

I'm all the way over in Southern California. I didn't even think to look at the old GM half-ton trucks which I believe were a 5x5 bolt pattern. I'll do my homework a little more and see what I can find but if not I may just buy yours and pay for the shipping. Any pics?

Biggest issue with the truck wheels (and other GM cars) is the hubcaps may not fit.

The lip they fit in is a bit deeper on the Cadillac wheels. I know a few people that have lost hubcaps because they wouldn't fully seat on a replacement wheel.

I've got a full set of wheels on a '69 parts car but I'm in Mississippi.
Not sure I want to pull them off yet either, but for the right price...

Yeah at this point I planned on replacing the wheels for all brand new tires and wheels down the road I just needed one wheel so that when I get her running it will be driveable.
