FOR SALE Road Runner Promo Stationary Wheel Discs

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Back in '69, MOPAR dealers sold these advertising wheel discs as accessories for Plymouth Road Runners as well as other B-Body cars.

They bolted directly onto the front spindles using special mounting hardware and remained stationary as the wheels turned, giving the illusion that the front wheels were locked up (floater effect)

Just check out these videos to get an idea of how they work:

Authentic MOPAR wheel discs are nearly impossible to find and will cost you and arm and a leg, so I made these reproduction discs at a much more affordable price.

These precision laser cut discs are made from .090" aluminum (not cardboard or plastic like some other reproductions made over the years)

Unlike the original mounting hardware which requires you to jack up the car, remove the original spindle nut and reset bearing pre-load, my special mounting hardware simply bolts on to your spindle's existing threads

Installs in less than a minute with no need to remove your original spindle nut or even jack up the car!!

Here's a quick installation video:

Here's a list of all that is included in each set:

2 Precision Laser Cut 15" Bare Aluinum Wheel Discs
2 Custom Machined Spindle Mounting Nuts
2 Allen Head Disc Mounting Bolts
2 Modified Mr. Gasket Chrome Dust Caps
2 Pre-Drilled Plastic Dust Caps



Located in South Orlando, FL (just 3 miles East of Sea World)


$110 local pickup or $130 shipped to the 48 states

*PLEASE NOTE*

Due to copyright issues, I will not be selling any vinyl artwork with these discs, however, I do know of a supplier that is willing to re-create any and all artwork you wish for a reasonable fee and can give you his contact info at time of purchase

Good question

Yes and no

I tried them on my 14" wheels and they do fit (in fact, they look even better because they overlap and cover the wheel weights)

If you look closely at the pix above, notice the gap around the discs.

They're exactly 15", yet on a 15" wheel, there's still about ~1/2"-3/4" gap from the edges of the discs to the lip of each wheel.

On a 14" wheel, this gap shrinks exactly 1/2" per side, making it a cleaner fit.

However, because my 14's have a different off-set and the valve stems were too long, I had to add a few fender washers between the discs and the mounting nut and use slightly longer Allen bolts for proper clearance.

So to clarify, what wheel size is on your Road Runner shown in the pics in this thread and YouTube videos?
