Technical ROCKET RACING/AMERICAN RACING WHEELS???

not my car,.. can't post my car till i change the wheels

 

here's the car...










lotta chrome on the car, all steel,...stock dash... but saddle tanks..

 

Nice little car. She would look great in a set of bias ply black walls with '40 Ford wheels and caps.

-Abone.

 

16's ???? bigs and littles , or all the same size??? thanks for the post...

 

7.50-16 on the rear and something like a 5.50 on the front would look pretty mean.

Old school bigs and littles.

Similar to your current setup of 235's and 185' just skinnier and more vintage looking.

What do you want, a 40's to 50's era built car, or something that would have been built in the 60's or later?

 

Only issue I see with them is the lip on Vintage TQ have a machined finish versus polished

 

Something like this.



7.10X16 rear, 5.25X16 front. (all 4 wheels are 16X4) Black or whitewall works on your car and there are a pretty good handful of wheel color choices that fit.

-Abone.

 

heres my Cdan

 

it's too far gone to be pre war..just a hotrod I guess..

 

I was thinking that with the car all white, white walls would be a little too much white????? and with the car having so much chrome... stick with the chrome look...I ordered 15's ,.. blackwall tires ,.. should get them mon-tues... if they don't look right I don't have to keep them, I can get something different...so will see

 

Sorry, a bit off tpopic

@2FORCEFULL , you mentioned there were saddletanks fitted?
Where is the fillercap fitted? Usually it's on the side aprons right?

Cheers, Martein

 

I never get lucky enough for usual... they're in the wheel wells... so the rear has to be up enough to put gas in...probley gonna take it to the shop and put new tubing with 2 to1 filler at the rear of the car so you can fill both tanks at once... I've had this set up before , PITA.. you put gas in one side , then have to turn around to fuel the other side... once I get it up on the rack, might figure out a way to put a single 16 or so tank..

 

got the new steering wheel on..

 

and the wheels and tires...

 

got them tucked in the fender sides

 

Years ago, there was a company that used the original fill neck on the cowl and used tubing down each cowl side to fill the saddle tanks. Another company used separate fills through the aprons.

 

Yeah, I gotta figure something out... thanks for the post

 

Yeah, a LOT of money. Badass looking coupe BTW.

 

I like your chrome five spokes with the black walls.

 

took the back window off, and the front and rear bumpers.... and waiting on a 5'' water pump riser to get the fan in the middle of the radiator.also lowered the rear 2''..should be on the road soon...
