Universal Wheels / Rims - Love 'em or Leave 'em?

Gregski · January 20th, 2011, 10:55 PM

So while looking for some 5 lug wheels / rims (what ever you wanna call 'em) for my 68 coupe on Craigslist I came across some that were "universal". Judging from the ads they claim to fit Fords, Chevy's, Mopar, etc... the holes seem oblong so I wonder if that would cause wobble or not a perfect fit when mounted. Should I get them, or should i stay away from them?

I've seen several of these on craigslist myself. In theory I think they would work fine, but in a real world application where the vehicle is being driven hard (hard cornering and acceleration) I would personally feel more comfortable with a set standard 5x4.5" (for Ford and Mopar) bolt pattern.
