I think you need wider tires, wink wink.

Fratzog · Jul 19, 2015

Those rims and tires look great. Who sells white wall tires these days?

Cooper, (Made in USA), offers the nicest looking WW tires in all sizes. Hanook also offers a good tire, (not made in USA), in most sizes but the sidewalls don't appear period correct for a C body.

LOL the 15x7 Roadwheels I have will one day be wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A's. and they will get some good rubber.

These are Motomaster SE's, however they are now discontinued (why I got them for $34.99 each, even if it did take 3 stores across the province to get 4), Goodyear made these in the USA for Canadian Tire Corp.

Nice. So pretty, almost a shame to hide it all with fenders and hood.

Keep up the good work, love the progress

I have the Motomasters on my Polara and just found a set of Hankooks for the Monaco. I can't believe what an improvement the 1" white wall is over the black wall with the Road Wheels on the Monaco. IMHO 235/75/15 is plenty wide for our cars. That size also reduced the revs about 300 rpm at highway speeds.

I've been sort of quiet about my Angel's fate this winter................thats because I've been doing some planning..............Awhile ago I picked up a trailer frame.......I'm done my trailer now.........my truck has had numerous improvements made to it for towing...............and with the 4 door leaving the garage for the winter........I've decided to haul the Convertible home here till April............

I want to get it to run and drive......thats where I'm at.....
