Got new wheels installed. I enjoyed the original hubcaps but I prefer open faced wheels because I do put about 100 miles a day on the car commuting on nice days and sometimes that involves a lot of braking. With the closed design of the steel wheel and hubcaps, the brakes becomes soft from heat.

Anyway. I like the vibes it’s giving me

Look like supremes.. I’m I close?
I wouldn’t say they’re supremes but they’re a cheap version of them.
Here’s the stock number. I got it from Jegs.
The tires were already on it when I bought the car. I think it was Milestars. Model of the tire, no idea.

Once the tires were mounted on the new wheels, the tires looked so much better, not as pinched in but now nice and fat
