Thumbs up Black powder-coated steel wheels and radial tires.....

.....for street use are now replacing the 20 year-old Centerline aluminum racing wheels and non-street legal racing tires.

I wanted a new look for the car, and some wider front wheels and tires for better braking power.

A pair of 275/60-15 Firestone Indy 500 tires in the rear on 15X8" wheels and 205/75-15 Kuhmo touring tires on 15X5" wheels complete the new rolling stock.





The wheels were built off of a set 15" 1956 Chevy wheel centers, these were welded into new steel rims. No hub caps will be used on this car.
