Wow, those are purty tires & wheels.
They need the shallow "tuna can" style hubcab on the rear.
Front gets a deep cap that is open on the end to access the lockout.
Butch, as a tire guy do you think there is any concern about using 25 year old tires on a vehicle driven on the highway?
Not busting on you, just wondering...

I think oxygen hurts them almost as much as UV. But for a show queen.....with a little Armorall or Back-to-Black or old-school "Tire Dressing"......Cool
Them is bitchin'

I would not be concerned, as these are all free of any weathering or checking, however, I would not use thes on a DD .... once they are worn out, there ain't no more........at least not many.
Before I was into Cruisers I was into early Mustangs, I saw guys pay 1k for 4 matching OEM Goodyears for some of the Mach's and Boss Mustangs...
If we had the concourse style shows these would be in demand, just think how cool it would be to show up at an event with an original 40 sporting these.....

Cool, I've got a few of these tires & wheels that came from fj60 spare tires. They look OK, other than being filthy.
I've noticed others that were actually on trucks sitting out in a field for 10 years will look much worse; deep cracking, discoloration...
I guess if they look OK & hold air, they are OK.

not to hijack but the GT rims, bueaty rings, meats and caps...1k is childs play....
Them's tyres r mighty snappy looking. Nice job.
the center were the T is should be red though
On my 82 the center T was silver, not red.
Mine were silver too.
I think youre whole idea is sweet! Pick the wheels for your restoration and work your way inward...
they don't make tires like they used to, but i'm not sure if that's good or bad
'root just blew a tire that was over 40 years old on his merc. fortunately, no damage to the ride.
