New wheels
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.

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 went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.

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