    Vrederstein Tires is a European tire company that makes tires for hi-performance vehicles to lawn tractors and everything in between. I used to have a two sets for my Fiat Dino, one set for winter and one for the rest of the year. That was back before All Season Radials became a commodity. They were excellent tires.

    As to the wheels, I like the looks of them, but not sure I would go to the expense of having them converted for GM. Maybe if it could be done cheaply, like re-drilling the mounting plate for the GM bolt circle. Other mfrg's do this all of the time during production, but not sure how well it could be accomplished after production.

    About the little horses on the center hub, maybe you can get it taken off or maybe just covered over by another horse.....a prancing horse!! That would certainly mess with some people's mind's.

    I have to order rear axles, so the bolt pattern on them is not a problem, can get anything I want. For the front I just redrill the brake rotors....

    Appreciate the info on the tires!!!!
