Title: The Great Wheel swap of 2013
Post by: Amc1320 on May 18, 2013, 08:13:25 PM
A couple of weeks ago, after many years of searching, I scored a set of Turbocast II wheels, the bonus was they had some brand new FAT 60's on them!!

So my son and I cleaned them up and spent the last couple of weeks repainting them

today we installed them on my 81 Spirit, its my son's daily driver, I have had the car for about 20 years or so

Here are some pics of the new wheels installed, the new tires are much wider and have a lower profile, I LOVE the stance it gives the car, made it mean looking

THEN, we took the wheels and tires that were on the Spirit and put them on the Concord, what a HUGE difference that made, went from OK, the kinda cool cruiser

Those wheels look great, and the new ones on the Concord really do make it look like a super cool cruiser. Nice work!
