WTB: 16" Le Baron lace wheel.

[PBODY]

Looking for (1 or 2) 16" Le Baron lace wheel. Was told they are from a 1994 Le Baron. Mine is dark grey, but I don't care about the color. It doesn't have to be perfect either. The cheaper the better.

It looks like this.

Thanks, but I doubt he will want to break up the set.

That's not the Lebaron lace wheel, that is the minivan lace wheel. I'm not sure what years had them, I know my mom's old '94 T&C had a set of gold ones, they were also 15's IIRC. Not that they couldn't have come in 16" also. I think my set is gone though.

Edit: Unless maybe that is the newer GTC rims, like 92-95.

Nope, the pic above is a GTC wheel, the one your thinking of came on cars and vans and were a lace pattern that was the same all the way thru, not different sizes of holes, plus it stuck out more and was flat.

IIRC That pic is identical except for color to the T&C wheels. You have a pic of the ones you are talking about?

[turbovanman²]

These are what I have the van, GTC wheels, I'll see what I can find for the one's I am talking about.

Here is the other kind of lace. They are 16x6" and have straight spokes. They look just like the ones that came on the 1st gen Eclipse/Laser but have 5x100 bolt pattern. I have found two sets in the junkyard; both from '90-'91 Lebaron GTC.

Mine look just like Simon's. They are 16 x 6's. I just bought 3 today and found that one is cracked on the bead. Not sure if it can be fixed. Maybe I'll just sell the other 2 or trade them. Unless someone has 2 they want to get rid of?

Yes, those are the older GTC wheels, then lets not forget about the Lancer wheels too, :eyebrows:

The cracked one should be repairable, do you have any wheel repair shops around?

Haven't looked yet. I have welders at my work that can TIG weld aluminum. I was going to ask them. The owner of the wheels said it held air, but I'm a little worried about stresses on the wheel and if it will balance after being repaired.

I have a set of those, they are actually one of my favorite wheels for these cars.

Should be fine if they do a good job and grind it back down afterwards (in other words if they don't just leave the weld as-is after welding, grind it back down flush w/ the wheel)

In the mean time.....

Anyone have a wheel(s) to sell?
