Thanks - i'll look into this...
|
Damn those are awesome
|
drool - they did a really good job on this one and it's going to mecham...I wonder how she will fare
Personally I'd like a little more meat on them and somehow not going to mini-tubs but probably day dreaming as I'm broke af just getting her running again...lol |
Doesnt look horrible but just not a fan of the all rim,,ultra low profile tires on classic cars. To me they dont look good on trucks either. My tundra has 18" and there was a optional 20" and to me the 18s looks better,,,need some sidewall. I went to 15s on my 70 gto and it took me awhile to get used to those. I wouldnt kick that TA to the curb though.
|
I'm the same...need more tire however my 15's look too dated now...need something in the middle...still swoon over fat in the back tho but I'm a dinosaur lol
|
HIGHLY Recommend putting in Struts, del a lum bearings,
Or Coil overs to SPEED up the suspension as the sidewalls are non existant, and the suspension, slowed in hardened OLD rubber will make your car ride like a 3 Ton Truck.. But maybe ya just want to look at it.. |
You figure it would make that much of a difference for 17s?
I would love to replace these tired leafs with something else but I can't see that happening anytime soon :( |
Composite leafs are very nice - light but will lighten your wallet 5-7 bills

Im pretty sure those are US Mags Trans Am wheels. I just got their Bandit wheels in 18x8 and 18x9 for my '68 Bird and they look to be of great quality. I am in the middle of transitioning to an entire Ridtech coilover setup so we will see how it all comes together. The car had always been more of a drag car but hopefully this will make it more road friendly as there arent many dragstrips where I live now.

US Mag U109 Bandits, 17x8
That squishy feeling it had with 14's and 15's is gone. https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...1&d=1617467977 |
the wheels in the 1st pic look good & they do have their place on builds like these... but once you go to forged vs cast they are way too pricey for most people including me... $1370/wheel!

Do you have a profile shot? I wonder if white letters would still work on that profile and what tire you rollin? Thanks |
These indeed are US Mags but not the $200 cast "bandit" rims from China (this bandit style is also made in a 2 or 3 piece).
The rims on the 1971 trans am are legit 2 or 3 piece US Mags called their "trans am" wheel that runs well over $1,000 per rim. The "bandit" version has a bigger window between the spokes - the "trans am" version is more honest to the original Rallye II wheel openings. |

Very happy with them - made in Chicago since 1914. https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tir...ture-v/p/29744 |
