Calling all wheel whores
« on: May 10, 2008 5:20 pm »
Need 2 black 16x5" wheels. Deluxe stripes are preferred, but not neccessary. Want to put some 6.50 or 7.0 tires on the roadster, but 4.5" aint gonna cut it. Closer a match to the pic the more they're worth to me. Please help!

Do they have to be black?  I'll look what I got at my farm when I go back, but I'm about positive I don't have anything in black.

Please look, I appreciate it, but I'll probably hold out for black. I'm being kinda goofy picky on this one. If it doesn't work out, I just won't buy bigger tires. Thanks Antibling.

So it works to have a tread width 1 1/2" wider than the rim?  the 7.50 has a 5.5" tread width. What car is that on?
