    DARN Dart front wheelwells!

    Thanks, 65, I bought a pair of 14" American Racing Torque Thrust IIs, the same wheels that are working for me on the ragtop, with P195/60/r14 tires.

    DARN Dart front wheelwells!

    Thanks for the responses, folks. my mechanic sent me a pic of his 235/60/15 mounted on my new brake rotor. It was obviously too big (way too big)! After finding a program to compare tire sizes, I compared the 235 to 225, 215 & 205/60/15. Since a front swaybar is in the plan, Badart's...

    DARN Dart front wheelwells!

    I just had the bushings and joints in the front end of the Arizona Dart replaced, and a disk brake kit installed. The brake kit specifies 15" wheels to clear the calipers. The 235/60/15 that my mechanic had on hand hit the lowest part of the front wheelwells. The tire comparison program I...

    Busted wheel studs

    I first saw that screw-up on my parents' NEW '62 Plymouth when I was in junior high. Then last year I told the kid at the Sears tire store TWICE about the left handed threads on my newly bought '63 Valiant. The second time I showed him the "L" stamped into the end of the stud. I don't think...

    Cop Wheels / Rallye Centers???

    Sorry I didn't post this followup "way back when", but other stuff got in the way, and I still haven't got the project done! But I kinda left this thread hangin' and wanted to add this report. I did receive the Rallye centers as scheduled, and they look really good to me. And, to...

    Cop Wheels / Rallye Centers???

    And YOU are talking about the cop wheels, while HE is talking about Rallye wheels, right??? Oh, well, it makes no diff to me, 'cause I bought the sombreros. I like 'em better than the acorns, and as I am so fond of saying, my car, my money, MY CHOICES!!! According to the fedex tracking...

    Beauty Rings

    I'm pretty sure they WILL scratch the rims, and almost certain that scratching will occur when ya remove the trim rings. Fortunately, the rings will cover the scratches. I've seen lots of forty year old rims scratched from full coverage wheel covers. The scratches are rusted, but not so as to...

    Cop Wheels / Rallye Centers???

    If my memory is correct, Wheel Vintiques has reduced their prices for the Rallye centers significantly. I had an email from them that stated their Rallye centers would NOT fit the police wheels. Those factors considered, I bought these...

    Cop Wheels / Rallye Centers???

    Excellent news, folks! And mighty purty photos, redfastback!!! Since the ragtop is nearly the same shade of red as your fastback, a good preview as well. I found my trim rings at Hubcap Annie's here in Austin, Texas. They'll cover the edge of the rim, but I think I like yours better. If ya...

    Cop Wheels / Rallye Centers???

    I've got a set of 15X7" cop wheels, and some generic stainless trim rings that fit from the outside to the valve stem. Also have some REALLY COOL custom made Stainless steel 2.5" high early barracuda lug nuts, and for the crowning touch, I want to use LBP Rallye centers. With the rims painted...
