Don Coatney Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I was glad I had never seen them. O-ring tires are for bicycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeLeonard Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Just so Frankie doesnt feel alone, I think they look good on that vehicle. The nice part of wheels and tires is that you can have lots of different sets so you can change them to suit your mood. At least thats the way I look at it. Needless to say, I have a garage full of wheels and tires. Also, needless to say, my wife does not share my perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLeonard Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Ive got a *hitload of hubcaps and wheelcovers as well. I cant seem to get enough of them. Im buying them all the time. Im glad I have so many cars so I can change them constantly. I guess its all part of my overall car addiction. I like steering wheels too.

Frank Elder Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 George thanks fo having my back, but the are strange looking to me, not desirable, maybe on the new 300...was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLeonard Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well, I guess Im the only one who likes them then. I always knew my addiction to wheels and tires would get me in trouble at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Elder Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I stole the picture from the car's wanted section. Posted by the CarolinaRodShop, maybe they'll chime in but I doubt it. George, I collect vintage cash registers and slot machines, it gets me in trouble with the keeper of the budget all the time!

Norm's Coupe Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I was glad I had never seen them. O-ring tires are for bicycles. I'll second that. I don't even like low profile tires on modern cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Torres Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 well i like em {the tires} the rims i wouldn't use but hey that's what makes us all different heck i know for a fact allot of people hate my jeep but it makes me feel like one of those bikers that pull up next to a normal guy at a red light i get the dirty looks like im a lowlife and i should be taken off the road but i live my life for me not even my wife can tell me what to do those tires would look hot on a 300m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 To each their own but I would not own those tires. Not a big fan of low profile tires but think they look OK on the smaller cars of today, especially imports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatie46 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Maybe those have been painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm not crazy about the wheels and tires either, but I like what he did to the paint. For me, on that car, original wheels painted a deep brown would look cool. The car looks like a 47+/- Plymouth BUSINESS coupe. Am I correct?

Dennis Hemingway Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 The tires look like they are photochoped into the photo. If you look close at the whitewalls they don't look right. Dennis:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero3113 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I way going to say the same Dennis. It looks like the white wall is on the upper part of the rim on the rear wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Fred Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 i think you can't tell if it's photoshop. there is a correct shadow on the rear wheel. the photo is much too small for a proper judgement, but the weired look might come from using a big flasher on the camera. only thing you can tell for sure is that this one ugly set wheels:eek: ---> one eye on the "rat rod" thread... you can have your radials reconfigured by vulcanizing WWs on them afterwards, i've seen that on shows. problem is that the tires remain radials no matter how much white you use on them.

Young Ed Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 If I recall that car correctly it was made for road racing and has complete front and back corvette drivetrain and suspension including the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
