Looking for 16's

I don’t know if these are the ones Rod uses or not, but they’re the only 16” alloys I know of.

Thank you @dlearl476 . I reached out to Chris at Alloy Rep. His dad use to use my ford truck in their Boyd Coddington ads back in the early 2000's in Street Trucks magazine. Needless to say. Those wheels in a 16" run $4800 a set.. wowsers..

Yeah. Is an inch worth $4K?

(Virtually identical 15” Vintage 190’s are available from Greg at Vintage Spyders for <$200/ea.)

Rod told me that he gets his custom built from a private source, just for his cars.. That is pretty cool

If there were no good tires available in 15",perhaps. As there is- probably not.

My buddy Rick has some custom Coddington wheels on his Beck GTS but I’m 90% certain they’re 15”.

They’re also later Porsche disc brake bolt pattern.

Mercedes ML’s went from 16” wheels to 17” in 2002. I’ve owned both vintages. TBH, 16” tires are the red-headed step child. There are more good 15” and 17” tire choices than 16.”  You just have to make sure the load rating is correct as most modern 15” tires are made for econoboxes. (Not a problem for our cars)

Eric- my buddy just picked up a wide body CMC and he was playing around with wheels. His Coddingtons are 16” after all. He couldn’t remember if they’re 7”-9” or 8”-10” He said the rears rubbed a bit. But they’re customs. You can get any width/offset you want.

He ended up going with a set of Fuchs instead. (Like I previously posted, the Coddingtons go on his GTS)

Coddington makes all of our GTS (904) wheels in 16", 17" and 18".  Great quality but they are not cheap.

You can get 16" steel wheels.  @arajani has bought a few sets  for various projects Ive done for him, and I'm sure he has a source.  Actually knowing Anand, he probably has several sources.

@Eric N - I have a set of 5 16 x3.5” steel wheels. They could probably be widened. $600. I think 4 are the same finish, and the 5th is slightly different.

I used some steel centers with alloy hoops for my spyder build, so these are left over from those.
