Rocking new alloys


The need for a new set of tyres for the Austang got me to thinking . . . the beast really needs a great set of new wheels that suit the lowered profile of the car. So I thought "Why not a set of 18" rims?"

They had to be something which looked old school but new tech. Here is the sweet result, a set of polished alloys, 8" at the back and 7"s on the front. Nice dish and a real old hot rod feel.

The low profile tyres give the car a real solid feel on the road. I have not given it a bootful to smoke them yet . . . they cost too much to spread all over the road . . . but they certainly have tamed the traction monster, gauging from the driving so far.




I shot this vid on my iPhone, funny, it made the car look pink!

Goodbye faithful old wheels, now I better get you onto ebay!
