    Wonder if Ol' Kiwi Kev has a set of Inglewood slicks laying around. 14" might be a difficult one to find. Try Towel City recaps here in North Carolina. If you need me to go talk to them let me know. For now check their site out and give 'em a call. They may be able to work something out.

    I want a Old set of Inglewood's like Kiwi Kev has on his Willys for my '26. Nobody made better looking slick then those dudes. You could cut your self on that ridge they are so sharp and angular looking. I would not mind keeping the Tri Lined white wall though instead of going to a black wall.

    You know, when I first saw those I thought the same thing but they have kind of grown on me. I'm even considering a set for my Comet. I dont think they would look right on an open wheel car but something with fenders or a later model might be OK. Hurst does make some really cool looking tires but I am dead set against running recaps.

    Agreed. You already checked with Hurst. That was my first suggestion.

    Hurst sells 14" slicks in 205/74/14 and in 215/75/14, they are listed on the site now. I was quoted like $420 for a pair with 1.5 inch whitewalls, and like 380 for 3/4 whitewalls.
