66 with 17" Vintage 45's

[hgufrin]

Can any of you post a pic of your 65-67 with V45's? I love the TTII's but wish they made them with an unpolised center. Dont know if American Racing makes anything similar to TTII's with an unpolished center.

I would like to try to attach a pic of my 14's but dont know what a URL is....???? Manage attachments does not work here because it says my jpg file is too large..??

Somebody on here the other day

couldn`t post a pic either cause it was too big, another guy told him to open the picture in the paint program, that you could resize it from there. I never done it, not sure.

i tried resizing mine too in paint and it still didnt work.

I just got my American Racing CL205's, 17"X8" with 4.75" backspacing. They are custom made to your backspacing specs. Not cheap, though, $289 per wheel - http://www.wheelsforless.com/search_result.asp?Product_ID=2057800

Also, American Racing just released the new Torq-Thrust M. Street or Track has 17"X8" with 4.5" backspacing on sale for $167 a wheel! - http://www.streetortrack.com/Torq-Thrust-M-Black-17x8-pr-22577.html

Period correct from the '80s 14" baller Craigers. Hot.

TT II's won't clear PBR calipers if you're using 13" brakes.

actually those are Welds... he he...

I have not made it to the brakes yet. Im sure SSBC or Baer will have something that will fit.

Oops. Sorry. Same difference.

The Baer brakes use PBR calipers BTW. The caliper contacts the spoke.

This can usually be corrected with a small 1/8" spacer.

Agreeed, but if you're trying to get all the tire you can in the wheelhouse, you don't have 1/8" to give.
