New 19 in wheels were available some years ago

[Vic in E-TN]

Some years ago there were new 19 inch wheels available. I think that it was Coker but not sure. I don't remember price or availability. I thought of making new 19 inch wheels with wider rims to accommodate radial tires. I have a set of wheels that I got from someone in Utah some years ago. They have 19 inch centers and the rims from 16 inch wheels welded on. Several decades ago while living in N. Illinois I saw a few cars with 16/19 inch that allegedly came from Wisconsin decades before that. I have not seen any more of these. The ones from Utah have very poorly welded spokes and are gathering dust in my shop.


I thought of trying to get someone to manufacture a run of these 16/19's. I assume that it is possible. I do not know what the previous price was for the new 19 in wheels or who had them available.


If anyone has any information on the new wheels or what you think the market would be for 19/16 wheels, please post your thoughts.
