Are there any new rims out there that can have the clips added? What are my options?

Wheel Vintiques makes some that are wider, and I think they use stock caps (need to call them.) Summit racing carries some of their wheels. Coker tire has some in their catalog also. As Woogeroo said (or implied,) original wheels are your best bet..sandblasting and powder coating, just like new! Best of luck!

I checked with Jim Carter, they have similar rim without the clips part# MST150. It looks like you would be able to drill the holes and add the clips but the woman I talked to on the phone had no clue as to what I wanted to accomplish so it looks like I'll be using the stock rims with the rivets.

That was a few years ago so things may have changed. | | |
