sport coupe or t type wheels

[COOPER12]

wondering if anyone wants to sell any wheels. Need about a month before I can get them as this months $$$ is going to get the car up here.
Really like the 83 wheels though 81 and 82 would be ok as the car has the hubcap look going now

I'll sell you a set of 83 wheels that I won't be using, but I wonder why you want 14" rims and tires on it.

I am in Placerville CA I just like the 83 style.
with I could find something in a 15" that was similar.
Want to keep the car semi stock looking

 

[charlief1]

Make me an offer on the 83T wheels.

 

[COOPER12]

what are they worth

 

[charlief1]

Mine?

 

[COOPER12]

Mine?

yep. i havent seen any for sale to know the going rate lol

 

[charlief1]

I think I can do $250-$275 shipped. Let me weigh them and PM your zip so I can see what shipping will be.

ok what do you guys think of these?
heavy sobs though 26 lb 7" 28lb 8"
either cragar 342 d's or soft 8's
15x7 o offset 4" bs
15x8 -13 offset 4" bs

what tire sizes you think? Would love to save 40 lbs and go aluminum but these are cheap and look pretty neat.

The stock rims on the SFI Turbo Regals are 15x7. Most people run 235/60/R15's on those. I like the Cragars for the NASCAR look.



Buick Rallye rims look great. Stock was 14x6, but 15x7 are fairly cheap & easy to find. (Make sure they are 4.75" and not 5" bolt circle)

thanks Rich the hardest part is finding the right backspacing. the cragar super 8 7" and 8" both have 4" which I am not sure if that is ok.
I am hearing 3 3/4" for the 7's and 4 " on the 8's but am having a hard time finding the correct combo as I am seeing 1 or the other but not many with both.

 

[COOPER12]

so will a 15x8" work with a 3 3/4" backspace? I found some 15x7 and 15x8 cragar street lock d's both with 3 3/4" bs
7" have 6mm offset 8" have 19mm
or the Cragar Black D's
15x7 4" bs o mm offset
15x8 4" bs 12 mm offset

the soft 8's are the same as the black d's
you guys think these would work? Id perfer the 7" in front a 8" in back but if they wont work the 7" street lock d's sem to have the right bs
they are spendier though 99.00 as opposed to 58.00 plus the center cap and lug nuts


I am kinda liking the street lock D's so I hope they would work

I have American Racing D slots (AR767) on my '82 GN. They are 4" BS and fit well. They were cheap, if I recall correctly.

I think the 15x8.5 vectors I have are 3.5" BS and they catch the inner fender lip once in a while.

 

[Heisenberg]

Soft 8's work fine.
But buy Unique Soft 8's - (Discount Tire) about 10-20 bucks less per wheel than Cragar.
Same company I think.
I think the D's look too Jeepy.

 

[COOPER12]

I went with some
Ansen Sprint's, they will be here in a few weeks but like the polished slot look.
15x7 4" b.s
