New Tires and Hub Caps

I did not trust the dry-rotted, old tires...so, I bought these American Classic white walls from Jegs.com (cheaper than buying from Coker Tire). I also threw on racing discs I bought from Hubcapmike.com.

What do you think?

If you really want an opinion, I really don't like the racing discs on that car. That is just my opinion. It is your car and if you like them, that is what matters. Easy enough to change be if you change you mind.

Craig, this is where I bought them - http://hubcapmike.com/rdc01-15.html

redoldsman, you are right, if I don't like it, I can put the original hub caps back on. I just thought this would make the car look smooth and show off the girth. I think it is much better than some of the Donk wheels.

Love the tires. The wheel covers make me think Roswell though. Hehe.

Very nice car!

FG, to answer your questions -

So really How many bodies do you think you could put in the trunk ?

3 to 4 teenagers to get into the drive-in theater as I recall.

How about some soft and fuzzy shot's of the lady?

What? Stay away from the adult bookstores!

Im color challenged is it gold or green?

If you are referring to the car, it is saddle tan.
