New wheels
Mark Allanson - 21/8/11 at 12:12 PM

After this post, I have finally got my wheels on the car, with new 'low profile' Toyo 350's (185 70 13), I say low profie because when the Wolfraces were new, the only tyres you could get were standard and 70's which were considered low profile. Proper mans rubber, not this painted on stuff you can get now!

Nice clean wheels they are too. I think they add a nice period looking touch to a 7, but then I prefer classic cars anyway!

just got back from a quick howl, the handling is smoother and the ride is much softer. I can feel the car more, as all the geometry is as the designer intended, the scrub radius is reduced.

since your now an expert - do you fancy polishing up my scimitars wheels ?

Proper old skule wheels

Very nice and retro.

Have you got the gold rams horn and chain to go with them?

Cheers,

I've got a set of those on my GT6 look quite nice but I would prefer a set of cosmics or minilites.

Wolfrace slot mags, you'll be building a hot rod next Getting them clean is the first part of the battle, keeping them clean is the rest. Can you buy Solvol in bulk? They do look in keeping with the proportions of the car.

P.S. anybody got a chain link steering wheel to go with them?

I was going to get a louvred rear window thing, but remembered I don't have a rear window! I have cunningly coated the wheels with 1k lacquer to protect them - probably will need doing every year, but only a days work.

One word: side pipes!

Nice fit to the car. 13" wheels just look right for some reason.
