Hi Guys,
I just got my wheel's back from Fuchs Restorations and I want to get everyone's opinions about which tire looks the best on the wheel. I have Pirelli P4 195/65 - 15's on the '74 and they look ok but what do you guys think look the best? Continentals? Perielli? Michelin? Dunlop? Something else? I want to stay with a modern tire and I'm flexible on the size so long as they fit within the stock fenders. I know the question about tires has been asked many times before but, I'm looking at it from a performance AND looks standpoint. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike |

Wow. The restored wheels look gorgeous. Well done and congrats on those beauties.
A few questions ... 1. Who did the restoration? 2. What was the cost (if you don't mind sharing)? 3. Was any paint used or strictly sanding and polishing? I just took my original Fuchs off (which I intent to restore like yours) and replaced them with a back up set of 4 lug Fuchs that I had painted black with silver polished lips. I'll post those pics and show you those wheels as well as the Goodyear Eagle Sport tires I have on them, which I love (from a street performance perspective as well as aesthetically). |
