boxboy Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Craigs list seller has some '78 wheels. Thinking they may be a good solution to my one bent wheel on my 520. So, anyone know the difference between the two? Will it be noticeable? Quote Link to comment

So, anyone know the difference between the two? Will it be noticeable? 6 lug stock steelies? I don't think they ever changed. Quote Link to comment

boxboy Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I beleave these are my 79 620 wheels with caps. Those are definitely different than '68 steelies. But they look nice! Unfortunately I just had mine painted, so I would ideally just like to replace the one that is bent, not all four. Quote Link to comment
Brian D Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think i might have one laying around. Pm me a pic Quote Link to comment
Str8_69 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 620 wheels are wider, and the hubcaps are different. Quote Link to comment
boxboy Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 These are my rims. Figured I'd do it here where all can see. Come to think of it, I am not entirely sure what rims I have. They were gifted to me from a guy who had a '65 320 and a couple of mid-70's trailers on his place. He didn't know what was what. There were two narrower ones in the lot of 6 he gave me. I traded out the narrower ones for wider ones, but the wheel design was the same. I would think it would be best to have the same width all around. Correct? Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm not sure about changes in wheels from 68-77, but the 620 wheels changed for the 78 model year when the trucks got front disk brakes. I think that the diameter and width stayed the same for 78, but the offset and appearance changed. Quote Link to comment

Oregon_PLG222 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I need to find a couple rims for my 521. I have no spare and I want to get the ones on it blasted/repainted and then mount new rubber two at a time. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think the ribs between the lug holes changed a few times over the years. I remember reading a thread on it awhile back Quote Link to comment
