Z16 wheel specs

I think by then Kelsey Hayes had the rivet thing down pat. On the corvette front, it was always said checker cab was a place to look for the corvette wide wheels, but I think it was an urban legend thing.

yep, on a low production run, its easier to machine vs a new casting. Cool info on the wheels, I enjoyed. They likely are pricey, the wheels for the corvette (most got tossed) are going still in the 3K ish range. I have not hugged mine in a while

Not only Checker/Yellow Cabs. They were listed as heavy duty parts and used in many service applications, like police cars, etc.

interesting wheels. Did GTO, 442 , or GS use this wheel ?

I know the 1965 442 listed a lot of HD suspension parts including a HD wheel and sway bars.
