Rims and tires (Here we go again)
ok, after getting rid off my first set of Cragar s/s rims, I purchased another set (actually 6 rims). Heres the breakdown:
2 15x4's (skinnies)
2 15x6
2 15x10
I got drag radials with these as well. They are some brand called Super Sports. (Anyone heard of these?) Barely used. I think a couple passes made. And I got one front skinny tire. The other one i believe got a nail in it or something.
I bought all these for around $200. The rims are in good shape other than in the center section around the lug nut holes. The chrome has faded and chipping. Is there a way to "enhance" this a little bit. Its not noticable unless you get up close to it and it will bug me so any tips on this. My friend i bought this from said he will talk to a guy about re-chroming them. But that may be awhile so any cheap tips or ideas?
Also. I put the tire up to my camaro and it is the same hight as my current tires so it looks like its not going to hit the fender lip. It looks like it may stick out a tad in the back. Has anyone had 15x10s in the back before. If so whats the biggest tire size you can get without interference? Thanks.

Well I guess I don't have to ask if you got ahold of Brian today. Thats cool that he had 2 more to use on the front. We'll just have to see how the big ones sit on the back. It'll probably stick out some, but what I'm concerned about is the backspacing is deep enough and nothing rubs inside. Oh well, one way to find out huh? What'r you doing tomorrow night? I'm dropping my monday night class so I'll have some free time tomorrow.

Actually, we found out those are 14's. I am thinking about having them mounted just to see if they will look decent, but I think they will look bad. Oh well, the guy is trying to locate some more for me.
Dave, nothing planned yet. Maybe screw around with the stereo or do something with the car...
