I’ve always been a Foose fan with one exception: Those wheels. Always 20”+, and always gaudy. To each their own, but I’m a purist, and prefer my cars as stock as possible. It also ruins the comfort of the ride to have wheels that large.
Same here. I like everything about that car - except the wheel/tire combination.
I call them ghetto wheels. My 67 GTO has a set of Rallye II wheels that were available with the car when new. I have seen several 40’’s 50’s and 60’s cars with ghetto wheels, they really ruin the car. If I didn’t have the Rallye wheels, I would use Cragar S/S or American Racing D-spokes.
Same opinion of ghetto wheels. It could be worse, we see them on 4WD trucks around here. Really wide with car tread. Probably less off road traction than a 2WD with good tires.
These crazy car wheels are getting out of control. I had VERY limited selection for my (since sold) 1994 Buick Roadmaster with the P225/75R15 size tires. I wound up having to get Kumho. Not my first choice.
Is the rougher ride due to the higher inflation pressure? I have noticed that on some of the tires used with larger diametre wheels, the pressure was as much as 80-100 psi. Assume this is due to lower sidewall height?
I don’t think it’s the wheel size as much as the low profile tires. With so little sidewall, there is no give in the tire. Of course, a 20” wheel mounting 60 or 70 series tires probably wouldn’t fit in the wheel well of the fender.
