    Default Wheels

    I bought a set of 10 holes from redse with the tires on them and replaced the rear tires with the same size as the front had on them (Discount tire had Falkens in 215/65/15 for 50 bucks a piece brand new). The car has the original "truck wheels" which I like a lot but I wanted to keep them from the wear and tear of driving 2500 miles a year so I took them off and giving them a detailed cleaning. I have to say that the 10 holes ride better because they are 15 inchers but I will put the other wheels on for special shows. I also hooked up Sirius radio. I ran the wire down the door channel from the TTops and across the door trim. It is powered from the cig lighter and works off of a FM channel that is not active, no cutting wires or anything special. Works great.

    Sounds like a nice deal for wheels that'll preserve the originals. Looks great!

    That car is amazing regardless of the wheels. One of the nicest 82's on FEP. I agree with Homer...we need more pics!
    Cheers!

    It looks like a washout week with rain everyday. I will get some more pics up when the weather is better. I put a pic up of the steering wheel/interior in the Interior section. I need to know how to take the cruise steering wheel off so I can replace with a regular stock one that I just got from tonysilver82 this past week. Other pics coming as the weather cooperates. It is all original paint so, you know how it is, pics always look better.
