Thanks Glen! These are great articles. They give an option for our '76 Vettes. Pretty much if you get the parts it seems to be an easy switch.

And if you are simply trying to replace a damaged 76 original wheel, we have a red one in nice shape, including the hub.

Okay if nothing but the 76 wheel fits the 76 why is a Vega Gt wheel on the 76?

Back in the day I put many a Vega Gt wheels on Chevy flat glass vans (64-69) wit no problem.

Do other Chevy wheels fit the 76 then? Tuxblacray2008-08-06 12:56:15

The question is can you put a Grant wheel on a '76 Vega? My main goal is to put a smaller sized wheel on my '76 Vette. The stock (Vega GT) is in great shape and does not need replacement.

I gotcha Aaron.. I read that the 76 wheel only fits the 76. I read what the grant dude told you. I know the 76 wheel fits a 64 - 68 Chevy Van.

So does a Grant wheel fit the 64 - 68 Chevy Van? If not why not? Does it fit the Vega?

Thats why I was wondering if other Chevy wheels interchange with the Vette / Vega wheels..... It isn't adding up for me just yet.
