I'm wondering how you decided on 10" wheels instead of 8s (that's the width you had in another post). Have any rubbing issues? How's the steering with tires that wide? Are those Wheel Vintiques wheels?

Thanks in advance.
Joel, I went with the 10" wheels because I wanted the combo to fill in the wheel well as much as possible. I have absolutely no rubbing issues. I have had them lock to lock with no problem. the steering is amazingly easy, in the big scheme of things. and I don't have power steering. just keep all of the front end grease fitting topped up.

Yep they are Wheel Vintiques. I had an EXCELLENT experience with David's Rally Wheels out of Sacramento. He has tons in stock and ships the same day. Very good guy. Highly recommend if your going with rallys....

good luck with the oxidation. you'll need a lot of aspirin afterwards for your arms! drop me a pm if you need anything else.
