Wheels & Tires

Ive spent way more time trying to figure this out for my new 64 flareside.

The misses likes oem wheels in white or body color with stainless steel bottle caps and trim rings.

What size? I haven't seen any flaresides with 16in wheels. I want the tall narrow tire, but don't want it to look cartoonish.

All three options are in stock at Summit, Im going to buy them today.

Now with pics

I went with the other option.

15x7 chrome smoothies with L78-15 wide whites.

Bias tires are as hard as a rock and drive a heck of a lot different than radials.

I like the look, but I think Im going to pull a leaf out of the rear..
