That is what I plan to do......polish the heck out of them. They will look great on the old bucket of bolts. Lee

Here is a pictures of one of tires going on the Ansen rims. Not like the car is not already a little over the top. Original tires not reproduction Goodyear 70 series on the front and 60 on the back. Just like Rug would have done it after he wore out the original tires to get better traction. Day two rims and tires too!

Unfortunately, no 60 series 14's are being reproduced at this time. Wish I could help you there!! If you went 15's, we could go bigs and littles for you!!!

I should ask this on the day 2 part, but if a 60 series 14 were to be redone, what size would everyone like to see come crawling back?

I have all four of the original tires already two new two great used. I had stashed them years ago and now have a home for them on Jason's Ansen rims. Lee

L60-14 without a doubt.

I would guess there would be greater demand for the Goodyear 15&quot; than the 14&quot;. I am doing 14s because the original owner put 14s on the car one month after he bought it. Most of the Chevelle and other folks went to an aftermarket 15 wheel in the day........I think.

Need some help identifying these wheels. I know they were bought around 1970. Magnesium. I don't see any identification marks on them Any help and possible value would be appreciated.

They are a great looking wheel. I wouldn't have guessed them to be Magnesium. How do you tell?

Lug pattern looks smaller than 5x4-3/4. What is the history you know of them around 1970? How about size? I'll compare them to some old ads and such and let you know if I find anything.
