A new look!
A new look!
I’ve always wanted to personalize a car a bit and finally pulled it off with my 66 Corsa. As I completed the suspension work (springs and shock) at each corner I put new wheels and tires on. Yesterday I got it aligned (may have to revisit that but good enough to drive for now) and today I finished up putting on the wheel trim. Photos show the progression of the car and wheels.

Looks Good! I like the T/A Radial 70's look.

Sharp! It’s a nice sporty personal touch.

Re: A new look!
What size tires did you use? Are they the same front and rear?
Re: A new look!
Those wheels look good on your car. Yours reminds me of the 65 Corsa convertible I had in high school. Close to that color (mine was a repaint over the original light purple). Mine also had highlights sprayed along the body creases, that was one of the styles back then. Dennis

I went with 215/60 R14 tires all around. I played with various combos using this site; https://tiresize.com/calculator/
I did consider staggering tire sizes but glad I went with same all around.

I’m really happy with the way it all came out. Really looking forward to next season now. Hopefully we’ll get a few more outings in before they start treating the roads.Dennis66 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 6:12 am Those wheels look good on your car.

Nice!
I really like the look! The right wheels can make such a difference.
