      Well the wheels came in today, all was great till I pulled the last 18X10 out of the box for inspection and found damage on the face, outer lip. Like it was dropped. Back it goes, word from vender is notice for a new build is on the way to AR.

      Well things moving on real good.
      American Racing took 7 days from notice of damaged wheel to make another and have UPS bring it to my door. 2 days to make 5 days shipping. How good is that...
      That was right rear 10X18. Can't tell old rally at that postion in pics.

      Plus I got my front lowering springs yesterday. Good to go.!!!!!!!!

      Rich, if you still need tires, and are near the SF Valley, try Tires Buy Mark.

      I've purchased tires from him for 20+ years. Good guy, amazing prices.

      I saved quite a bit over Tire Rack on my wife's SUV for Yoko Geolander's, and car prices are awesome.

      I think he quoted me around $140 for M/T Drag Radials in 255/60/15.

      Rich,

      I think this is the same rear tire and size I would like to run on my Chevelle. Do you have any pictures of the car from a straight on side view?

      Thanks
