Here is a picture of my new rally II's from Specialty Wheels, OR with new Diamondback Radial Redlines. I am very happy so far. I went with the Firestone Indy 500's vs. Diamonback's standard Daytona Tire. The Firestone looks better (less agressive tread side wall).

Hey bus15241, is there a website for where you purchased your Rally II wheels? I recently just purchased a set of Diamondback's and I may need to get one new Rally I wheel for my '65 GTO.

Thanks

I am running the same setup on my '65 and I am very pleased. I agree on the Daytona tires...the sidewall is a little agressive for my taste. I will pick a different tire for my next ride, but I will definitely stick w/ DBC.

Beautiful car. After seeing all the cars on here with DB redlines I'm heavily leaning towards them as my next set of tires. They look really sharp.
