Re: [Amc-list] 15" rims for Ambo wagon?

[Roger Blake <rogblake@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to follow up on this -- I finally managed to get to a junkyard to
look for 15" rims. I took an old front rotor from the Ambo with me to
check for fit.

I found that  Ford rims had a center hole that is just a bit too small. (I
checked a few different ones from different years.) However, the yard
happened to have a rear-drive Dodge Diplomat with 15" wheels. These are
a perfect fit! Aside from some surface rust, the rims looked otherwise
straight and in good condition, so I got the set of four for $80. (The
spare tire in the Diplomat was gone, will have to keep an eye out for
another, but for the moment the 14" spare in the Ambassador is not in
too bad shape.)

A little wirebrushing and POR-15, and these rims should be good as
new! (Well, at least they'll be presentable and serviceable.)
