I have a set of '35 Ford wire wheels but it would cost $150 per wheel to get them re-done in powder coat and they are very old and need some metal work. Right now, Jegs has a sale on 15" X 7" wire wheels with 3.5" rear spacing, whatever that means, for $204 each, free shipping. Will these work OK? Of course, I would still need to get them painted or powder coated. What does the forum think about this? This is for my '29 Tudor which has: warmed up Schwalm's motor, Weber carb, Mitchell OD, Lincoln brakes. I want it to handle well but I wonder if the 7" width may be too much and will the 3.5" rear spacing be OK. Thanks in advance.
