Woo-hoo!
Yay! My new wheels and tires arrived today (new to me, at least). I was trying to go for this look. I searched and searched for what’s actually in that picture, but they’d been discontinued.
I got these used ones from a nice guy in Sunnyvale, CA for a pretty good price considering that it included four essentially new tires. New tires would cost nearly the same price. My original ones were hubcaps and bald tires (man did those roar going down the road). I’d been neglecting to change the tires for a while since I knew I was planning to do all this renovation eventually.
I had a hard time finding lug nuts that would work: they sit a little deep inside the middle and then a cap has to cover them. The first ones I found were about 1mm too tall and the center cap couldn’t sit down all the way. I finally found what I needed and was robbed by Napa Auto Parts for $2.50 per lug for a simple tapered nut.
Pictures soon..
