All right it's time to think about tires and wheels for my ride. There's a lot of different looks out there and I need your thoughts and help. I know that the proportions on the car are not what some like but that's what I like about the car so lay off that. I need suggestions on tires and wheels and maybe some photoshop pictures from ya'll experts. I'm thinking of getting 2 Gasser style wheels from Et Team3 with the as cast centers and using the rear Et 5 window wheels the are on the back now with the centers painted to match the fronts.Should I run wide whites or black wall, bais ply or radials? Maybe some Radir cheater slicks on the rear? Front rims will be 15"x4" and 15"x7" in the rear. What about painted steel wheels,wide whites or not? Too much to choose from I like both looks.Would like to see some photoshop pictures of both. I'm going to put the windows in and drive the car as I do the bodywork and keep in primer. What do you think? HELP!!!! Thanks: Keith
I agree...use those rear wheels. And use the Team3's upfront. Otherwise, I would recommend TorqueThrusts all the way around.
I agree with you on wheel choice. I think your proportions are O.K., you may want to consider centering the rear axle in the fender, or better yet, ditch the fenders altogether, and move the axle way back. Before you get your feathers ruffled, take a look at these... You may want to check out Scootermcrad's threads, too. Just to give you some ideas. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/search.php?searchid=1284348
Yea Richard i've been thinking of doing away with the fenders. Don't know yet but I like the look of yours. Still would like to see someone photoshop some whitewalls on it. I know there are a few on here that can do that.
