The car just underwent a frame-off, its new. The DB 500's (which are actually Firestone Indy's)are 179+ Shipping. The same tire w/o redline in $65 at Tirerack.

The Diamondback Classic Redline Radial is a very good tire,I have had good luck with them on my 64 GTO.They ride and handle beautiful and are a fair price.I'm sure they are less then $200 each with shipping. Redline is flush with sidewall, not recessed into sidewall like originals. It's not a problem, they still look great.

Every man should have multiple sets of wheels and tires, a Colt .45, a good nudy bar to go to, and a beer fridge.

Hey,
Someone out there has done this and they went all out to do it. They got a set of cheap whitewalls, nice thin recessed white wall section, then made these large circles to mask the sidewalls. The exposed areas were sprayed with a rubber/vinyl red paint. They looked fantastic! The guy did a write up on it, and did it for his (I think) 66 GTO. I can't find that site for the life of me, but it's out there somewhere in virtual land.

What if I just buy some white walls and color them in Red with a permanent magic marker.

I vote for none.
Get the Diamondback redline radials in the 225 70 series and mount on Rally II wheels. You'll get handling and looks, but your cost may be somewhat higher than your choices. |

I like the red lines, period. Always liked the Cragers with or without red lines.

Hard to beat the Cragar look. They are however very seldom round......

I agree, ride suffers, but Radial Tuned Suspension was not offered on these cars either, and they developed it for a reason. I sacrifice the ride for the look, and I drove on these tires for years anyway, so not a big deal to me. Again a matter of personal preference. I don't care for the aggresssive stance of some of the repo radials, but that's just me.

Hi,
If its a trailer queen put the redlines on your Rally IIs. If you are going to drive it, put on the 15x7 Cragar SS and 235/60/15 BFG TAs.

Redlines are not necessarily indicative of a "trailer queen".

I'm very satisfied with the look of the redlines on my 68 Hardtop.
