about $1150 for the tires and wheels... I've got nothing against Weld Wheels, just tired of seeing them on everything. Guess I've just never been one to go with the trick of the month club stuff. Thought the tire and wheel combination was a bit unique and would fit in well with the rest of the build....

....They look REALLY nice & they're DIFFERENT, which is good!!!

Dave,

I like the wheel/tire combo. Traditional, yet different. That little pony logo on a Chebby is an issue, though. Is there a replacement cap?

BTW, it's old news, but las year, I was surprised to see that Weld Wheels went bankrupt. They were the wheel of choice for rodders and racers for quite a while.

Weld Wheel Industries Inc. has completed its bankruptcy-driven sale in a deal that will keep its local facilities rolling. The Kansas City-based manufacturer of high-end custom wheels filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August. As a result of the bankruptcy, Weld Wheel sold all its assets to American Racing Equipment Inc., a similar company based in Rancho Dominguez, Calif., for $24.4 million.

Oh well!!! I would imagine most are going to have issues with the other changes I've made on the car anyhow!!!! I can't let a little thing like a center cap stand in the way of progress!!!!!!

Oh, come on Jack, I think the Mustang logo on a Maro would add class. It'd definitely be in the dare to be different category.
