RE:Wheel Vintiques/JEG'S |

The company that produces a variety of repro wheels is Wheel Vintiques, Freson, CA. Their latest catalog shows your '68 GT/Styled Wheel on page 5. A variety of sizes inluding the 15x7" you may want. As for the tires check with JEG'S Performance. They offer a full line including the M&H which I've run but they do take a tube which ain't cheap; they offer the BF Goodrich DRAG Radials which is what I want next time. I drove my '61 Starliner to the drags with the bias-ply M&H and with radials up front. I don't like that squirmy road feel. Mickey Thompson is now offering a DOT approved street drag tire that actually is a soft sidewall that wrinkles! All of these tires are dangerous in wet weather. So good luck dippin' into the 12's. Like Dave says, good drag tires should help a lot. I'd try them even before going to a lower gear. Those 3.50s are nice drivers. |
