Wheels and TiresNeed help with wheels or tires? Got fitment issues? Have questions about tire performance and handling? Ask all of those questions here!
I am. But only planning at this stage in advance of rebuilding/replacing tires, steering linkage, struts/shocks, strut mounts, bushings.
Don't know yet if stock-like replacements, or koni yellow, or polyurethane bushings, or a white letter sport 15 inch tire or comfy passenger blackwall.
I'd like to smooth the car out. Currently rough and high NVH. Tires would be a big part of the solution over the old cooper cobras.
Most likely will do rubber bushings, stock rubber strut mounts, and a comfy 15 inch passenger car tire.
My favorite aftermarket wheel for 82-84 is the Billet Specialties Street Lite in black. 2nd place is the Crager SS.
The Crager SS is mostly a chrome plated steel wheel and heavy. A 15in x 8in wheel is closer to 28 lbs.
That's why many go with a totally "Aluminum Alloy" "Torque Thrust" style wheel like that one instead made by "American Racing" etc.

You are correct. They must perform like cr*p.
I think when the car is done and i need to find something to burn money on I'll go with the Billet Specialties Street Lite in black. All or nothing. The stock wheel ain't so bad in the first place. Thanks.
