Pictures of finished AAR tires and wheels

I finally found what I wanted, including the LH lug nuts, I went with the black Cragar GT wheels with Goodyear Eagle GT "W" speed rated 225R55X17s.  It really drives and handles much better now than the old Polyglas I had.

17" is a great choice. I think that is my next move.

Your wheels look great.    :2thumbs:

I talked to a few people who sell modern suspensions systems & roughly 1/2 of the gain is just wheels & tires , reducing the sidewall reduces flex in the tires & makes a big difference + going from bias ply to radial is a big difference alone

 I can see that. In circle track racing new tires cure an ill handling race car.... for awhile till the tires wear out.
