Man I feel silly for not thinking of that. Won’t be too bad to match and won’t be hard to get paint to stick to that texture. Thanks!

Well I mean it looks like 72 small bolt is darker and big bolt is lighter.

I just swapped a big bolt pattern 8.25 on my 72 Scamp. Front is still small. I’ve been running rallye wheels, so I need new ones for the back. My question is when I’m shopping for the centers, it looks like 1972 bbp is lighter argent and the 1972 sbp is darker, both in the acorn style. Same year...

I had mine powdercoated black years ago. Recently discovered all 4 wheels are bent so I'm picking up a used set today. I plan to rattle can gloss black and see how it turns out. I did not use the trim rings although I might get some thinner ones this time around. Personally I like black just to...

Sorry, I just meant the entire indentation that houses the rallye center. Not just the holes for the lugnuts and hardware for center cap.

Yeah something like that could be done. Wonder if they're the same size as the hole for the rallye center.

It would be interesting if moons could fit those. I don't know how they'd fit but with time many things can be fitted.

Mine has 14 inch Cooper Cobras. 235s on the back 225s on the front, but are like 26". 15s are nice to look at but on an A body the 14 doesn't look out of place like on the bigger cars. I found out my wheels (all 4) were bent AFTER these new tires or I would have done the 15 inch wheels since I...

I'm personally not a big fan of the solid centerlines or the slot mag wheels. Just not my style

Wow! How long ago was that?

Yeah he has some. More than I'm wanting to spend at this point.

Yeah I imagine the price of 15 inch rallyes from Summit would be cheaper than getting them fixed though.

Yeah I like those, just not ready to jump to a 17. But I like their 15 inch and 14 inch options

Those look pretty sharp.

I appreciate it, but not looking for that style of wheel. Good luck though!

Have a 72 Scamp with sbp 5x4 wheels that are 14x6. Turns out all four are bent and I just bought tires for them (how convenient!). Considering going the 15 inch route if the shop is kind enough to exchange the tires but there doesn't seem to be anything other than Cragars and Rallyes. I have...

Jacked car up and looked closer. Wheels bent. Took them back to the shop and we looked at it on the balancer. Clearly bent. Too bad I just bought tires for them. Backs are bent too. I put like 50 miles on the tires. If I knew they were bent I would have bought 15s. Wonder if I can convince them...

LOL

You can balance a drum? Yeah it's got 9 inch drums up front with the weight on it. The rears do not have the weights on them.

Bearings were just replaced and tightened appropriately. We just checked the ball joints and they were tight.

How much up and down or side to side movement is allowed? On one side, the rallye had a lot of up and down movement, but did not move side to side. They have brand new tires. On the same side, when running the original steel wheels with old tires, I had more side to side movement and a little...

This issue happened before and after the new tires. Also in between switching tires I have had the drums turned, new shoes, and new races and bearings. Don't see any issues with steering. So I'm wondering if the wheel itself is bent. Gonna swap on some extra front wheels/tires I have and see if...

Got a 72 Scamp with 14X6 rallye wheels. Wheels are powdercoated black. I have had a long time vibration on the front that I figured was wheel related. When they balance the wheels they take off the centers, which have a good amount of weight to them. I have them put on the sticky weights rather...

Sorry I didn't clarify. I am putting 15s on the back once the rear end is done. I ran these tires because that's what was on the car when I got it and they did fine. I ran 15.20s with stock heads, exhaust manifolds, and 2.76 gears. Perhaps I could have gotten a little better ET if I had gotten a...

Ok that is good to know. I picked up the 8.25 yesterday. Has 2.76 gears and open carrier. So now to find a sure grip and a set of gears. I don't want to modify the body or make the ride like crap. I will probably do 235 or 245 then. What profile would you think would be good? I will probably put...

Not everything has to be an argument. I've done non conventional things that may be frowned upon. Some would be against some things, and some would be against others. I appreciate your all's input. Like I've said, I've ran these tires for a decade and have not seemed to notice any issues...

Sounds good. I will have a shop pull the tire off when I'm ready to do this. Of course now that we started talking about this, I located an 8.25 rear end with BBP. So I may delay the tires until I put 15s on the back. Thanks for your input. These technical things are beyond my experience still.

These are the same tires I've had for 13 years, but only about 8K miles of driving. And they were on the car before I bought it lol. I wouldn't mind getting a shorter tire to combat the sluggishness of 2.76 gears. Suggestions?

Ok, will that cause problems?

So technically my 225/70/14s are too big?
