We can’t stress how important wheels and tires are to your car. Since it’s part of what gets you back and forth, it has to be reliable enough to trust on long hauls. And like a necktie is to a suit, they’re also two of those design elements that really set off your car’s appearance. Don’t skimp out on either when it comes to your classic ride. Here we’ve picked out a nice cross section of styles in both the metal and rubber department.
Wheel Vintiques offers these three styles in a variety of sizes, bolt patterns, and backspacing options. The Artillery style has been around for many years. It looks awesome on both cars and trucks and comes with the bare finish, but is also offered, for an additional cost, with primer powdercoat options. Accessories are not included and factory lug nuts are applicable. The chrome Supreme is a throwback to ’60s mags and we’re sure it’d look at home on bombs as well as ’70s boats. The full chrome Smoothie is another variation you can’t go wrong with and adds that much more shine to whatever ride is rolling on them.
When it comes to the meats on your ride, there’s everything from lower-profile, thin whitewalls to the pie-cut “gangster whites.” This U.S. Royal 560-15 has a 1-inch whitewall, and made in the USA from the original molds. The pie-cut Firestone whitewall is the world’s best selling line of vintage bias-ply tires. The Coker Classic bias profile radial offers bias-ply looks with radial handling characteristics. Check out the photos below and see what catches your eye.
