  1. I was thinking I´d save some bucks on using old model A wheels up front whith motorcycle tires instead of buying new radir 12 spokes or used americans,anyone have any good pic´s of such wheels on a rod? does it look wierd?

    Swedester you don't have to go with motorcyle tires, and their reputed handling problems, for decent 19" front tires. A company named Excelsior sells several sizes, undoubtedly intended for older British sports cars, that would look just fine on the front and aren't very expensive. Coker carries them here in the U.S. but they may well be available much closer to you. Here's the link for the skinniest 19" Excelsior: http://www.coker.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=18130&cat=295&page=1
    This one would have the look you're seeking and would likely handle a lot better than any MC tire.
     

  7. You should talk with Pär from "Jokers" i believe he live in Falköping. He had the set up you are looking for on his '29 Sedan

  8. darwin;thanks for the link,I knew I had seen skinnies like that somewhere

    klaus;I´ll try to get a hold of him,you don´t have his last name?then it would be easy to find his number.

    I´m also looking at the new radirs as well,they look gooood!but pricey,hard to decide wich way to go.
