Looking good, what tire sizes did you end up going with?

The shiny wheels really brighten up the car. The safaris are also cool.
Just throwing this out there but I think it would tie into the wheels to get some sheet aluminum to make inserts for the trim detail on the sides. It would bring the eye up.
Anyway, nice car and it looks like you're having lots of fun with it.

Thanks for the complements.
J-dub. The fronts are 155/60/15 on 6" Fuchs. The tears are stock 156/15 also on 6" Fuchs.
Chuey. Thanks man. I'm not sure the aluminum sheet metal would work for me. I spent many many years hunting down a real set of stainless steel Aussie flash trim. I don't want to all anything simular in color that may takeaway some of the attention to the flash trim or that will potentially make is disappear.

Thanks,
I am trying to find something with a modern tread that is as tall as a 145. Currently running 175/65, they drive great but a bit wide for a 4.5" wheel.

the 155/60/15 is actually shorter than 135/15's but have twice the contact patch
