    Bill,
    I don't think I would run the front runners on anything on the street. They don't have the sidewalls or grip. I thought about the same setup (wheels) you are looking to use and agree that are agreat combo. I bought some Kelley-Springfield 165-15 for the front of my '32 and look like the ols Perellies (? sp) that the racers used to use on the front and that gives the "old" style racer look imho. I wouldn't like to see you or anyone else crash a car they have worked years on for a look.

    Less weight more speed; there's no substitute for cubic inches; If it don't go-chrome it

    .....Thanks for the advice, I'm going to go for the 10 spoke wheels for sure but will do some thinking on the tires. Everyone is right, the safety issue is a very real thing. It won't stop/handle as well. BUT I sure do like the 'look' ..... Thanks, Bill
