Sweet! I love phone dials.
Can't wait to see it once it's out of the garage and you post a proper picture.

They are a chinese brand called diamondback. They make tires for caterpilar as well. Really a nice quality tire for the price. Took very little weight to balance them.
I'll get some outside pictures after i wash it.
Thanks all.

The first teener I tried to buy had dials on it. Unfortunately, it was sold before I got to it for an EV conversion. I love the look of dials myself.

Well i didn't specify did I No, it's a negative camber. I have a starrett precision angle level I use. A bit overkill for alignments I know, but it works pretty well. The new tire nubbies are wearing almost excatly in the center.

i see it too... the perspective makes it look that way I guess
looks good... not the biggest fan of phone dials (Mahle guy), but they do look good and different from the norm

I love the phone dials! I just wish the big ones were not so pricey as I would love a 16x8 and 16x9 set for my car. Odd how an all round wheel looks so good on a "square" car Steve

I think that really looks cool and with the white paint too is a nice match!! Looks better on a 914 than a 928. Don't see them much! Nice
