Wheels and Tires
Posted in Hotrod, Rolling Chassis by kevinI have the front wheels and tires figured out. I am going with 16 x 4 Ford Steelies. They are from 1940 and I fitted them with some cheapo 600-16 Nanco tires. They have tubes and a bunch of places I called would not touch them. After a bit of research and briefly trying my self I decided I needed to keep searching for a shop to do it. I finally found a great shop in Wilmington (right on my way home from work) called Eddies Tire City. Here is the info:
Eddies Tire City (ask for Gato)
825 W. PCH
Wilmington, CA 90744
310 830 5331
They were fast and made sure not to damage the wheel, plus the whole thing was $30 bucks. I am sure for someone who has the right tools and the know how it seems like a waste of money but I knew after a few minutes I was not getting those tires on. Here is a shot of them, I powder-coated the wheels twice to help against dings, the color is almond.
