It just depends on which era of ride your shooting for. 5" bias to 8" radials 22" and up. I have 23" x 7" radials on one of the A's... Works fine. I couldn't decide on wheels either so I threw some Moon Discs on it until I can get some definable inspiration. They may be on there for a long long time? Personally I think your steelies look bitchen and fit the car perfectly, I wouldn't change a thing but everyone is different. Feel the force young Luke!Last edited by M.T.; 09-10-2014 at 03:48 PM.

I do like the steelies, but everyone around here is running them. And, I like shiny things so I want some shiny wheels on this thing.
I like these and they make them in 15" and 17". I'm trying to keep the side wall height decent and not have a rubber band look. I'm trying to build this with a retro vintage sort of feel. It'll have some similar things as it had in the 70's and 80's but with some upgrades that I like. Such as a V-butt windshield, (Maybe),the wider rear fenders, a power adder, bla bla blah.

If the above wheels won't work with my rear end, I will go back to the Halibrand Replicas. I like the look of them and they are more vintage too.Ryan

Yep. It’s pretty sad.
