1950 F1 Rims
Anybody make nice 16 " rims 7-8" wide without all those extra holes for different patterns, would just like ones with 5 holes for Ford. THANKS

Re: 1950 F1 Rims
The F-1's used the 5 1/2 bolt pattern, different than a sedan. You would probably have to get custom made wheels to get what your looking for.
Stock rims can be widened. |

Re: 1950 F1 Rims
There's a couple of options. You have your centers put in new rims or you can get new wheels from Coker or Wheel Vintiques. As I recall if you get new rims they will only have one set of holes with the 5 1/2 inch pattern.

I got a set from Wheel Vintiques with the original KH center,(5 on 5.5) 8 inch wide for the rear and 6 inch wide for the front.

Re: 1950 F1 Rims
Thanks Jack, I got them about 10 years ago, don't remember what the wheels cost but they were reasonable. The hub caps ('40 Standard) and trim rings came from Bob Drake.

Re: 1950 F1 Rims
Jack, I'm in Odessa, about 80 miles south of Ocala. There are a bunch of "Flathead Guys" that live around here and we try to get together most weekends to play with Flatheads so, if you feel like taking a ride one weekend let me know and come on down. Vic
