Well it's no secrete I actually love the way the old bottlecaps look. One day I will buy the 16" newer version that a couple companies make. I am entertaining the idea of actually widening my back 2 wheels to 7.5 or 8". This would let me look stock but have a 225 or 235 rear tire. What do you all think?

custom 3 piece as George Graves posted above.
Just widening them will require spacers because if you add 2" you're going to add 2" of backspacing. Seems better to run full custom 3 piece and make them land in the right place to begin with instead of running spacers+new lugs or stud kit+lug nuts.sigpic

I was going to have the 2" added to the outside or front of the rim, but I think I have changed my mind. The only tires I can find that would fit the wider 14" wheel is a BFGoodrich white letter tire.. I loved them on my old Camaro but not so much for my little E. Dang nice pics George, made my mouth water.sigpic87 325E The Honey Badger

Those 3-piece are one-offs. I think the guy is in Poland? He takes all sorts of factory wheels and turns the to 3-piece masterpieces. I'm pretty sure he has a thread on here somewhere. Anyways, I doubt you can even buy those, on his FB page he specifically made them for his personal ride.sigpic
