    newly rechromed 5.5 steel wheels - set of 5

    Freshly rechromed set of 5 date matched 5/66 Lemmerz steel wheels. Wheels were rechromed at Boltons in Los Angeles, and never mounted. Wheels were originally 4.5" wide, but were welded into 5.5" centers when they were rechromed. The first time the plastic was removed was to take the picture. $$$Pending$$$ for the set of 5, free delivery to the LA lit show or Costa Mesa swap meet.

    If they were 4.5" originally, and have the 4.5 x 15 stamped in, then they were actually welded into 5.5" outers?

    Yes, to chrome them properly, the centers have to be cut out from the rim, at that point , you get to choose what size outer piece you want it put back into, so I had them widened to 5.5"
