Street Freaks, Customs, Rods, Street Machines...60's 70's 80's

It sure is refreshing seeing lots of sidewall and 15" wheels in these pics. Around the year 2000 the big car magazines and their Sunday morning cable TV shows began pushing the "Pro Touring" theme with oversized wheels and low profile tires. It's amazing in a negative way how few wheels and tires that went hand in hand with a muscle car are no longer made..at least in the 15" configuration.
Formula One and Drag Racing both tried the "less tire more wheel" formula way back in the 80s and said "F&%# this! It don't work!" :soapbox:
