		| 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.    |
