It's really looking great Glenn! Just a personal thought but the wheels are absolutely perfect for the car, the last few years I've seen so many repops that IMO the whole look was ruined with the wrong wheel tire combinations! The new large diameter wheels and rubber band tires look nice on a new car, but they just don't "fit" on a classic! Thanks for doing what's right and not caving to trends!

Thanks, Dave - that was my thought process and having grown up in that era, it was either American mags or Cragers. I think the wheels many times define the car and I'm pleased with the look of these. Very reasonable as well - just under a hundred bucks each from Speedway and shipped free. Granted, they are mad in China - but they seem to be a quality piece and the guy who mounted the tires said they were very nice to balance.

I couldn't agree more! The only thing worse than a muscle car with huge wheels and rubber band tires is a '30's street rod! Sidewall rules!
