I agree, but I wanted to use a factory style wheel that suited the overall theme. That really limits the options right there.

Now, if I could figure out a way to stretch them into 15's, and custom widen them to 8 or 10" and run drag radials, I'd be all over that!
What size tires are you planning on running? I was thinking a 215/70-14 I'm not really sure what is available

I picked up 4 used BFG Radial T/A's last year with about 90% tread on them from Kijiji (our version of Craigslist) for a smokin' deal.

They're 235 60 R14's. On the 6" wheels, there will be some sidewall bulge, but it's about the widest tire I think I can safely run on the car.

Anything's gotta be better than the puny 205 70 14's that are currently on the car. Those ones are just way too skinny. Plus they're Walmart specials, they handle and track like crap. Good for leaving 200' black marks on the pavement tho!
:rofl:
 
Weldcraft in Michigan may be able to re-hoop the wheels. Gbodyparts was re-hooping the MCSS wheels as 16s or 17s at one time.

Thanks for the info Mike.
I'm a bit surprised that they were doing MCSS wheels as I wouldn't think they could do anything with cast aluminum. Billet or forged, sure, but cast as well?
Did you have them widen yours?

Correct, Weldcraft did the work on my wheels.

That's a purdy motor!!! I like the monochromatic scheme. Well done!
