I tried placing an order for the 01s and was told 9 months , still thinking on it
I sold 5 sets of wheels thinking I’ll make room and somehow ended up buying 3 more

I'd be happy with a set of Longchamp XR-4 in 15" as well. The owner (understandably) refuses to sell them to me:

This was sent to me today. A Datsun Roadster with MGB (Rostyle) wheels!


Is the owner on 311s?

Nice wheel/tire combo. How's the cornering response and traction of your bf goodrich tires in the rain? I'm planning to purchase a set because I saw a good deal online.

Sorry. I literally never drive in the rain. All the tire comparisons have them as excellent in wet though. So far I really like them on dry. Very good grip , predictable. Excellent aggressive cornering

Ha ha ha ! That was funny.

as you guys know I'm always trying some new wheels and I think I found what to me is the perfect specs for a 65-67 car
The wheels are Old school Drag 902 from the late 70s early 80s, I picked them up a few weeks ago and had them refinished in Volvo Twilight Bronze
15x6.5 with an offset of +22 in the front and running a 5mm spacer in the back for a final of +17
Tires are 195/55/15
front is lowered on Mike Young springs and riding on Konis




I did try them on the white car and while I think the color actually look better on it, the fit was much better on Mrs Blue

Wow! Those look awesome.

I like those, something different and sharp looking!

Yes, at first I was "Brown? Hmmmmm" but they quickly grew on me, and they do look perfectly set up for both cars. Very nice.

I didn't realize 15x6.5 would fit on our cars. No shorten rear axle?

6.5” is a great fit on our cars , if you look at the previous page I posted a 14x6.5 ET15 on a 69

I know they're bronze and they look it... it was more of an expression of my first glance, a kinda "whaaaaa?" and then looking closer, letting the color contrast settle in me, then "Wow, I like that... not what I would expect." They are beautiful man and worth all the effort.

It looks nice, it seems like a lot of people are into bronze wheels nowadays. I always see this design all over the internet.
