Sorry about that. I was hosting on Facebook, but I guess they stopped letting you direct link. Uploaded them to Photobucket.

I was going to go to polly's but changed my mind and went with Radials. Took a test drive with one of my friends today. The car is a little slower. My guess is tire slip, since the tach was jumping all over the place. Also caught a nice churp from 3rd to 4th gear.

Looks great; I am actually considering taking my T70's off and putting the Rallye's back on just for a change.

I had originally bought the TT's for my 78 couple, sold it and still had the tire so I put them on. Never really liked them on my vert.

Hi B68,
That looks VERY good to me!
I've always been jealous of cars with red-lines.
NICE!!!!
Regards,
Alan

You guys probably noticed I went with the cheapie trim rings. Never had a lot of luck keeping the four clip ones one. Seen a few pass my car in traffic. lol

That looks great! You can't beat the rally wheel in my opinion. I love the red lines! What width did you put on?
