Default Vintage Skinnies

They cleaned up pretty nice! I'm trying to decide on black or cast-look aluminum for the centers.

They look great! I would run them with black for anythng post 1971. Light silver for the early look, but I took the back off a set I had on my 65, and the all chrome doesn't look bad either, as you can see first hand.

Well, they're going on my '70 Skylark "Day 2" car. I'm torn on the color choice, since I've seen both, but I think I'm leaning towards the black.

They would look great with Moroso Drag Special tires.

I've seen ribbed Firestone blackwalls, and I really like 'em. Kinda wish Coker would remake Firestone Drag 500's. I'd like to run those! So many choices on tires. Shooting for period correct (bias plies baby!)

760x15's sound about right?

Sometimes, I put my Cragars on my Chevelle and the front tires are 7.10 x 15 Moroso Drag Specials. The 7.60's are really tall. It depends on the look that you would like to have.

Got a pic of your Buick, John?

How about a pic with those tall front tires Nick?

Here's my Chevelle with the Moroso 7.10's on Cragar 15x4.5 wheels. These tires would look great on John's wheels.

My car with the original wheels and Polyglas GT's.
