SPYDER WHEELS
 

I'm looking at an original 14x6 set of Spyder wheels/mags. Is there any issue with these fitting on a 70 Nova with disc brakes??? Not certain on the backspacing of these wheels...

Thanks Rich

Brian Henderson SCW had a set........ I want a set so bad but need to focus on the task at hand.

I still have a very nice set of originals. No problems on single piston calipers. I don't have center caps..BKH

Re: SPYDER WHEELS
 

I picked up the wheels today.. They are in very nice shape... I did not like these much at first but they really grew on me.. Very different... You don't see them..

If I couldn't have them it is nice to see them go to a good home:-)

They are so cool:-)

The guy didn't have the lug nuts for the wheels but it looks like a regular acorn style chrome lug nut will work..

----I'm surprised. I had Spyders on the rear of Red Alert when we got it from Bob Hamilton and they were shank style......Bill S

Re: SPYDER WHEELS
 

Bill, some other websites I have visited that were talking about these wheels stated you could use the shank style or the acorn due to the way the wheels are made...

Always liked their look.
A very rare wheel you just don't see enough of today.
Paul your Olds look good w/em. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: SPYDER WHEELS
 

----Well, Rich, that makes life easy as a lot of Motor wheels had an odd size shank hole. I had to make sleeves up on RedA to take up the slack. A real pain!......Bill S

Re: SPYDER WHEELS
 

I used a acorn style nut for a better part of 10,000 miles and no problem. I have seen the shank style forsale as a generic chrome lug nut so they can be had.
Now the car looks like this.

That's what peaked my interest in them... You see Cragars, Torque Thrusts and Aluminum Slots every day plus they reproduce them... This wheel is just unique and cool...

I know where a set is located. Incredibly, they are on a beater 78 malibu 4 dr. I saw sitting in a driveway. I stopped and asked about them. The owner said they were not for sale. He let me take some pics. The lug nut is unique.

I know where there is a pair on a guys 8 foot utility trailer. What a waste!

Re: SPYDER WHEELS
 

Looks as though the unique lug nuts are SS capped steel,,,
No wonder few survived...the stainless covers damaged easily.
I wonder if they are regular nuts underneath.....?

Re: SPYDER WHEELS
 

----You would be wrong about that, Tom. They were machined that way and then plated. An odd configuration , no doubt, but true......Bill S

Re: SPYDER WHEELS
 

If anyone is interested there is a set of Spyders on South Bend, In. Craigslist. 2 15x6 and 2 15x8 with tires and centers for $500.00
