I would like to improve the ride and handling on my 56 with radial
tires. I presently have 5" wheels with Firestone 6:70-15 Deluxe Champion
4 ply polyesters.From what I understand the 5" wheels have too much
flex in them for radial tires. I know I can get 6" wheels from a bone
yard and weld or solder the bumps on for the wheel covers. The thought
of not getting the bumps correct and maybe losing a wheel cover or having
it run down the side of the car bothers me.
The front cover of Paragons 2002 catalog shows Blue Boy with wire wheels
and looks pretty sharp. Dayton offers a 70 or 72 (not sure) spoke chrome
wheel 6" wide for a C-1 with a three spoke spinner.The spinner is of the
generic variety and will not have the cross flags.
Any thoughts,ideas,do's and don'ts,will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Rob
