OK, when I came up with the pinstripe design, I was shooting for a 50's 'scallop' look...... Shortly after I was told it made it look like a DEI car. I had no idea what a DEI car was so I googled it and found this:



So, my 'original' idea turned out not to be so original... It's gotta go.


Looking to get some 50's style pinstriping.... in red, of course.

Looks good. I have a suggestion for the powder coating, which I was going to do if I bought those. Damn that would have been a long drive.
They have a black chrome powder coat now, its like bright chrome with a dark tintcoat over top, you can get it as dark as you like.

BTW, these were about the easiest tires I've ever put on rims. Short sidewall was no problem for the Harbor Freight tire machine. (snip)
Man, what a Big difference... Looks great !!! The 225's give it a beefier look too.. I like that a Lot.. Nice improvement !!!

it's ok, pretty tough to insult me.

I very pleased with how the wheels and tires came together like this. Usually it takes months for me to find the right deal.
