Corvair knockoffs

Could someone from the forum help me with a question I have on Chevrolet offered knockoffs. I understood that knockoff wire wheels were an expensive option offered Chevrolet for several years. What years were they offered and did they come in 13 and 14 sizes ?

Thanks Brad,
It looks like from the picture the adapters would work with either 4 bolt or 5 bolt wheels. Since the years offered were 62 through 64 I would believe most (maybe all) would be 13" wheels, but do you know if a 14" was offered also through Chevrolet ? I thought a 14"' was available, so maybe this was only an aftermarket thing.

The picture is deceiving. The "extra" holes you see are to fit over the rivets used to fasten the drum to the front hub on an Early. As far as 13" vs. 14".....you're on your own.

If you look close you will see 4 holes & 4 studs & nuts. Actually you can only see 3 of each, the hub hides the other ones.
