Hi, I think that I was fortunate to find 4, 14inch General Jumbo wheels with 7.50 14 tires mounted. The wheels are in very nice shape and although the chrome is probably long gone from the centers they have been power coated. They look nice on the car but the rear tires look out of place and way to small for the fender opening. Question to anyone who has used these is what size modern tire have you used successfully. I'm seriously thinking of running a modern radial black wall with these as they will not pinch the bead like putting radials on 16" wheels.
And of course I've posted an add in parts wanted for hubcaps.
Thanks
Larry
