John,

Thanks for the advice. The car came to me with the SSII rims....they are OK...I have the original steel wheels and the hubcaps, but I would really like some SSI's down the road sometime.

By the way, I'm not a big fan of the whitewalls either. Believe it or not, the guy who had the car before me put it in storage for almost 10 years before he sold it to me. Those tires were put on the car in 1988 and they have less than 500 miles on them. They are old bias ply tires and somehow they survived storage (the car was up on jack stands) and they actually are pretty nice. Although it rides like a freakin' truck with those tires.

I'm going to get the motor stuff straightened out....do some REALLY smokey burnouts on the bias plys and then ditch them for a nice wheel and tire combo.
