Nice find and the engine sounds sweet after being layed up for a while.

Those wheels look different do you have any pics of them or know what they are?



Here are my wheels after a good shine !!!


I need some new tyres  :cry:

Any suggestion for my wheels?
I just cleaned / shinned them but the rust has not disappear from several spots.
 
Option A was to get a set of EMPI 5 but this is not a good time to do that.
 
Option B is to paint them over but I do not know the colour
 
Option C is to get a set of 4 used original wheels and replace them .
 
There is always option D live them as they are.
 
What is your opinion?

Original steel wheels finally painted white with a nice set of whitewalls .
Just have to wait for the a set of new shinny hub caps  :D



Got rid of those giant side mirrors closed all 8 holes that were drilled and re-opened the ones to accept the factory  door mirrors .

I am ready to bin them.
They are not in a perfect shape and they are an aftermarket product.
Do you want them?
