    My 28 has wires and bias plys on it now and I really like the look. The problem is tire bounce. I have balanced them twice,trued them,played with air psi with no improvement.The wheels have some run out but not bad.I am going to try better shocks as a last resort.If I have to change wheels what looks as good as wires?I have a set of big an little ansen sprints but dont know if I will like the look on this car.Let me know what you guys think.
    Thanks Joe

    Sounds like you have some bad tires or are you trying to make an excuse to get a new set of wheels ?

    from dayton,oh

    i seen a few posts on here about the by ply tires.if the tires sit for a while thay get flat spots and it takes a bit of driving to round them out again.and if the car is going to be parked for a few days set it on jack stands so the by plys dont get flat spot.
