Title: Vintage wheels redone *PIC UPDATE* Post by: lawrence on October 04, 2008, 01:16:18 am Just a tease. They will be on the car after I finish racking my brain about tire sizes. Im thinking 185/65 on all four corners ???

I put 'em on my '66 after I sold the EMPI five spokes. They look SO good in the original silver color, like that. Nice score!
