Took my 1966 VW pickup to Walmart to get my new tires mounted and balanced today.
A couple months ago I swapped the 16x8-1/2” 1984 Corvette wheels I had been running on my pickup since 1988 for a set of Weld Draglites, 15x5” and 15x8” shod with 185/55 and 205/55 Yokohama tires. The ride has improved and it’s much easier to steer now. I almost put the Draglites on the Le Mans convertible but thought the VW truck would be better suited. The width and backspacing just happened to be right, kinda like when I shoehorned the wide Corvette wheels on it back in the day. Also recently polished up a set of Centerlines for my 1956 VW panel bus, it’s getting all new suspension and a lowering job. It will also have 2 sets of wheels to change the look, a set of white powder coated original 15x4-1/2” bus wheels for when I’m tired of the Centerlines.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
