What I have on my car are the 15" reproductions from Sunbeam Specialties.
I also have an original set of the 13" wheels that the original owner had
on the car. When I was restoring the car I found that one of the wheels
had a bigger hub opening than the other 3. The original owner had been
rear-ended on the driver's side and I figured out that the passenger side
rear wheel must have been pushed into a curb or something and he got a
replacement wheel that was a little different. Another hint was that the
hub on that side was bent a little bit and I had to get a new one made up
by Doug Jennings.
Sorry for the rambling.
Joe
