My car has split rim (two piece) wheels and takes a special inner tube with a bent stem. Where do I buy new ones?
Split rim wheels were on early-mid 1957 models, replaced by one piece tubeless wheels in late 1957 through the end of the 1962 model year. The split rim wheels use 10″ tubes with a right angle bend on the valve stem which allows the stem to pass through the front side of the wheel. Coker Tire has these for you. It’s their part number TR-87 and should run you around $10.00 a copy. They can also fix you up with new bias or radial ply tires. If you prefer, give ’em a buzz at (800) 251-6336. Great customer service, by the way.
