Did any manufacturers make wheels in the same bolt pattern as the 1959 Imperials? Looking for something with a 16 inch diameter that would work on a 59 Imperial.

Location: Under the X in Texas		1940-48 Ford car and truck are 16" and 5 on 5.5" bolt circle. I'm sure there are many others as well. So look in the dozens of aftermarket wheel manufacturers for something to fit those Fords. You would not want the original FoMoCo wheels which are very likely 4" wide. And be sure to take a calipers to the center hubs on your Imperial to know what size center hole you need at a minimum.

The 14 Series Gennie Steel Wheels are reproductions of the famous OEM Ford wheels offered in premium quality primer finish. These wheels have been wildly popular with hot rodders and custom builders for decades, as they were original equipment on 1940-1948 Ford passenger cars, as well as Ford trucks. The Wheel Vintiques Gennie is built from high quality steel in sizes ranging from 15x5" to 18x5.5" with standard or reverse construction available. Many popular bolt patterns and dozens of backspace options make this wheel a builder dream, offering the precise stance desired for the perfect hot rod look. 14 Series Gennie wheels use 8 1/8" inside knob caps. Original 1940 to 1948 caps will work, but we also offer a selection of new center caps. Proudly Made in the USA!
