Thanks for the comments, guys. This will be a runner, as will my upcoming build. I don't believe in shelf princesses. I like the lower profile and higher clearance of wheels like these 5-spokes, at least for offroad use.bormac wrote:Gary's right. Those white spoked rims realy are awful on this classic. If I were you I'd be snapping up a set of these in a heart beat!

These will finish this car right off!
Bormac, those LOHAS rims are gorgeous--but that's the difference between $15 and $68, eh? Very tempting though...
Marui hunter 73, I have plenty of original Turbo Optima wheels & tires...maybe 4 or 5 full sets. I can go old-school with a turn of the box wrench.
EDIT: Thanks for the lead on those LOHAS rims, bormac...I've done countless eBay searches but never searched for "tecnacraft", and never noticed those until now. I appreciate your tip!
