I worked for Apple in 1988 - 1993. Guy Kawasaki who was Apple's evangelist back in the day offered all Apple employees free AOL account. AOL was a brand new service at that time. You can imagine after 24 years with an email address how it may be hard to give it up. Plus it's not overton321@aol.com it's just overton@aol.com. I get a LOT of junk at this account but if you prefer you can use any of the following:jwgreen wrote:Who uses AOL anymore!!?????!

Are you looking for 2-piece (split-rim) wheels?
Both my boneyard 69 and my '68-sold-as-69' driver came with 15" split rims.
I chose to use them, and like them.
They are about 35 lbs each.
I once sent 4 crusty ones to Zed...2 years later, he wouldn't let me leave his house without
taking home 6! I had a hard time returning to Tulsa, 'cause my Honda Civic's front wheels were
off the ground due to the weight in the trunk.
If you need some, they are yours for shipping cost.
Some are in better shape than others. Some rings are very rusted.
I can email or text pics if you wish.
I'm keeping one for use as a spare.

I have started to rethink this wheel issue. My real objective here is to have something that "looks" period correct and will accept the hubcaps I already have. Since I have a pile of 15" FJ40 steelies, I may just pull off a hub cap and see if it will fit on the Toyota wheel. Not sure if the bolt pattern is the same either.

The bolt pattern is the same as the FJ40. The inset might be a little different but should still work. I don't think the hubcaps will fit though, the FJ wheels have much larger retainer clips than the Patrol wheels.
