Fw: AMC CHROME WHEELS

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxx>]

Hi Mike, thanks for writing. There are literally dozens of wheels you can
use on the Gremlin, a majority of which will interchange with Ford and Mopar
bolt patterns too. As for 'chrome' wheels, not sure what type you are
talking about, as AMC didn't offer chrome rims except in 1968 and those are
Magnum 500s. In 69 they used Rally Rims which were painted but same pattern.
There are some aluminum slot mags AMC started using in 1975 on a variety of
their vehicles also, and used them until 1978. These were a option, and
could be found on Pacer, Matador, Hornet and Concord also. Expect to pay
about $300 for a real nice set of those rims with centercaps. And shipping
is about $30 a rim, so keep that in mind.

My suggestion would be to go to my website and click on the "links" on the
front page and see if there are any AMC chapters near you. Contact them to
see if they have any upcoming meets for instance in October the big AMC
SouthEast Regional will be in Atlanta so you would contact Peach State AMO
listed there for more info. If no clubs near you, click on "vendors" on my
site and contact any AMC vendors that may be near you, to see if they have
anything laying around you would want, and this could save you a boat on
shipping. I have forwarded your request to a slew of Gremlin owners here on
the Yahoo BaadAssGremlin list, and who knows some of them too might have
some rims for you. I have I believe a set of star pattern 77 rims, commonly
called 'flower pedal' AMC rims, they have the centercap volcanos, but no
trim rings but would make a excellent addition to a Gremlin, here is what
they look like except they are still in the original silver/black paint:

These were painted black and are on my 71 Matador shown. If interested $150
for the set + ship. Good luck in your search and if I can be of any help let
me know, you fellow Gremlin folks also speak up and see if we can help this
fella find some nice rims for his sled!
