I have looked at your various photos and see so many different wheels on the car I am wondering what these wheels are. The fronts look like a custom 17x8..Is that right? Rears?

My SC-flared 1973 had 8x10x17 wheels. The wider 1972 car has 9.5x11x17's. The fronts aren't as deep because the front suspension was modified to bring the hubs out further, to make the handling better.



You can see the 9.5's in the front of this picture, with the 11's in the back.

Nope. But I can't fit my big nasty red brakes under the Fuchs. I know I will miss the polished Fuchs. They are beautiful.

Anybody looking for a perfect set of Al Reed specials? (6&7X16)

How much?

Also, how does one tape off the paddle areas so that you can powdercoat them?

Not quite used to seeing 17" on an early car; but I must say, Joe's look outstanding.

My 6" & 7" fuchs look good in pictures but they need to be polished (and bigger) in real life.

frosty anodized 15x7s from Al Reed. Not quite as powdery white as a rough anodized RSR wheel, but very nice. Money well spent
