Turned out pretty well I think. I have had the wheels for several years already blasted just sitting out in the shop.
I was able to get a Memorial Day deal through Tire rack for the Cooper 245x60x15's with $80 off a set and free shipping.
Once I put the polished pie trim and find a set of 15" trim rings they should look nice on the W.
A month or so ago, I purchased some NOS caps to finish off the look.
Lookin' good. I was finally able to lay my hands on a set of 15x7's a little over a month ago. They're getting sandblasted now. I can't wait to get them back so that I can paint them up with some no26 Viking Blue that I picked up.
Just finished restoring a set of 2-15 x 7 and 2- 14 x 6 , they are going on my 66 trac pac car with the poverty caps. I used a 6-1-1 polyurethane delfleet single stage on them.
Tires are 255/60/15” on back and 225/70/14” on front.
Nice work Andy. I saw your other thread, car looks sweet. I've been fighting a stomach bug all weekend but hope to have the tires mounted sometime this week.
!4's with the Radial TA's vs. Radial GT's on the 15's. I much prefer the 15's for sure. The old lugs were crap too. 13/16 nuts. New ones are 3/4 as they should be.
Next will be a new exhaust. The old one leaks like a sieve and sounds terrible.
