I like the 17's.
I think 18's are too big for the C2, just because of proportions, but 17's are just right and stockers with piepan wheel covers just plain suck.
Believe me, if they had 17 inch wheels back in the mid-sixties they darn sure would have been using them.

Man you have good taste. I liked the Mossport Green one you had. I think this is the first time I have seen the Red one that you now have. PRURDY....
But then again I'm partial to the TTII crowd... Dave..

Tim, I don't remember which photo that we were talking about at the begining of this thread. The red one is just from the page prior. I want to say he had a Mossport Green one when the thread originated. Oh and yep that be the white rocket... Mean and low... Dave...

You can still get ultra high performance 15" tires. Here's a search I did at <tirerack.com> for ultra high performance (V-rated) 215/65/15, the size on my 67. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...UHPAS&x=59&y=9
So for me it's either 15" and 70 series tires or jump to 17" and 60-65 series. I suppose there's an in between with 16" but I'm not sure if the tire selection is there - something I still have to research. What I really need to do is go out and locate some C2s with the 17"s and see for myself if it looks 'Mattel'. The pictures just can't tell the whole story.
