Rocket racing Fuel Gray
Srry I dont shoot a Picture of the whole Car on the Sunny day today.
The ride with the Car was soooo beautiful :)

I looked at getting torque thrusts with grey centers when I " wheeled " up my car.. could NOT get a 8" wheel with a BS that would work.. 4.25 BS on an 8" will NOT work on a 66-67....
I ended up with 5.25 BS on these 8 " wheels.... I custom ordered them at the time.. To do it again it would be 5.125 BS,,,
But then I think I would just do 7" on the rear and save myself alot of hassle

Looks real nice; glad youre happy with them.
As an aside... I was noticing your tyres and really liked the look of the tread pattern. So I thought to myself. "Hey! 'Sooner or later youll own Generals' [an old ad line from the US if that doesnt ring a bell with our non-US members], think I'll look into getting those when I put bigger hoops on my car." BITD, these 'types' of Generals were all over; General sponsored the Street Machine Nationals in the 80s, sponsored some [road] race cars in the 90s, are the spec tyre for JeepSpeed [XJs rule btw] and the last two sets of tyres I have purchased for other vehicles just happened to be General. But guess what? Those are apparently not available in America...
I know theyre owned by Continental now, but youd think we would be able to get this tyre here... :(

Oh man, this is creazy...
Yeah Something in the world I don't understand.

This General grabber HP are for some Mopar guys in Europe ugly Offroad tyres on a muscle Car. But I Likes the tyres and also the Handling and wet Performance
And they are cheap Like 100 Dollar for one tyre. Then you need to Order Some tyres in Europe :D everything Else of Carparts I need to Order in the US ;)
