"I'm hearing about that chrome problem on ALOT of Lug Sets Chuck" !!

Thanks, The Lug nuts were a C-772 / (a rather common Lug / with a crush washer). I'm not sure with the Metric remark, but your prob. right (just a 7/16" Std. thread) ... *and even the spacers were somewhat common & available. The part for me that sealed the deal (and why I abandoned the...

Just a few more pic's of some more Regal's / & more "before and after" shots ... OH, and one other "BONUS" pic ! ;)

Happy Easter everyone !. Well, I finally got some pictures of ole' Bessy / amid the American racing (vrs. the Modern Wheel Rims) ... and, now that Goodyears making the Eagle GT's again ? / "perfect". "Call it the 40 year change". ANYWAY: They sure provide a good ride, and the "Modern Rim"...

Nope, I never "asked", and no 'rambling' either. You need to read all of the above, including the beginning / the opening thought. My remarks are based on the fact that the Amer. Racing Rims (thought to easily mount right on up n' done / "their all the same") weren't. The point in the entire...

Now Sir I have not, "but I will". :) THANK-YOU !

SPOT-ON !. But the "American Racing" wheels do. The tapered set for the 1980 Model year is what I'm after NOW. Thanks for the help tho. :)

Well, after almost 2.6 years / the "Goodyear Eagle GT Tires" are FINIALLY back, (being made again) ... but for ME / "they're not". Recall (read the above threads), I opted to use my "American Racing" Rims / along with these nicely matched Goodyear Eagle GT raised-white letter tires (I'm tired...

3:28 PM (3 hours ago) to Tech Well; after hearing NOTHING, I consider this matter to be over. I just can't believe that Brian would intentally ignore me amid such a "gotcha" here ... it's utterly pathetic. The difference here ?: "I wanna be wrong". THIS IS NOT my "way" ...

Someone earlier / this thread said: "thank God for G Body parts" ... well: "I was one of those" / as they have always done right by me ... "that is till now". What happened was about 5-6 years ago; I ordered some G car "power seat plates", (as I wanted to convert my manual-tracks / to that...

Ironic, TODAY I took my car to a Body Shop (I pulled the bumpers already / drove car there without them) and their going to paint them as they are just a tad "off" (the way the black fillers came from Mike), and that will "ice the cake".

I thought that might have been the case, but I guess the whole idea's 'moot' / as the Goodyears aren't made anymore anyway ... (Thx.) ;)

Well, "42 years + later", I "again", got this ole ' gal out / and upon popping a battery in it her, it started immead. !. ;) THOUGHT: I found some 15" rims, (see pic's) ... but these old "A" cars used 14" Eagle GT's (& not 15's). Question: (if anyone would happen to know); I understand...

OMG - "JUST ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL" !!!!!!! ............. "WOW" !!!! (PLEASE more pictures !?). :)

Well, after 41 years + (with this car) / I've decided to again 'revisit' this car and get her out again ... also: I've decided to change with wheels with the T-Type "Vector" spoke style rims / with the Eagle GT tires. What's funny is they are "out" (The Goodyear reproduction tires / and they...
