Aftermarket 17" Wheels for a 1969 Valiant

If the OP likes the Coy's wheels, like I do, why in the world is it "wasted money" for a set of wheels? Jeez, you guys act like there's no 5x4" disc brake option if he decides to upgrade later.

Kelsey Hayes disk brakes are 5x4", were a factory option, and are pretty easy to find here on FABO or elsewhere (for about the same as abig bolt conversion when you factor in the change on the rear). They work GREAT. Wilwood offers a 5x4" disk option, too. Dr. Diff even has a rear disk option for small bolt, though I don't believe it's necessary out back.

Do I recommend disk brakes for the guy? Yes. But my Coy's + tires weigh the same as my steel rallyes + tires. Properly maintained drums work better than badly maintained disks. Drums are just prone to fade. Factor that into your driving habits, but that doesn't make a drum brake car some kind of deathtrap.

LOVE my Coy's. I don't need a 5x4.5" bolt pattern, and I DON'T like the wider track from the big bolt disks, either. Not everyone needs the vaunted BBP.
