Waht kinda dollare are we talking?

Any mods required mate

By the way.. they look hella sweet :)

Red 66 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 18, 2008, 09:41:18 pm »

Hi JC,
No mods were required as they come with a 4.75" backspace. As for new price you might have to check with Bee because he bought a new set. Mine were secondhand from mo in Canberra (I think he had them on a 67).
Thanks Barry

Yeh, My wife has caught me more than once sitting in the garage checking them out. :+:+:+

We're sick puppies aren't we Barry, I did the same!

$2200 new with nuts and correct center badges from memory. Plus tyres, for a 64-66 215/45x17 front and 235/45x17 rear. Mark Dixon at capital classics in Canberra is the local agent.

No mods needed but you may want to drop the front a little to give it a trick look.

Cheers Bee

Go to calponycars.com to see what else they have.

They look great. Good to see you are now an expert with the pics as well:a

Thanks Bee, I knew mo did a bit of work at Capital Classics but wasn't sure if they were the agents for the wheels.
Cheers Barry :2

Thanks Yellow66,
Nothing feels better than learning new tricks :(.

LOOKS GREAT
DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD PUT THE WHITE WALLS AROUND IF POSSIBLE?
THEY LOOK HOT THOUGH:(

Red 66 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:52:21 pm »

Probably not quite enough room for white-walls on 45 series tyres, and I think they look better with out on the larger diameter rims.
Thanks Barry

blackbox · « **Reply #21 on:** July 19, 2008, 08:45:34 pm »

Dont think so. There are some other Puntorieros around there...
We run the Mussy down there every couple of months, might see you around.

No problem, Let me know when your next down this way and I'll keep an eye out for the Black machine :f.

BLKPNY · « **Reply #23 on:** July 20, 2008, 07:33:49 pm »

I like them, they look good on an original style car, good work.

I agree with 67Stang, white walls would look good, or even redwalls. Would give it an even more original look.

Red 66 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 22, 2008, 07:10:53 pm »

Thanks for the comments :( Sorry I didn't answer earlier but I've just returned from Victoria-Land after taking my youngest to a Melbourne Storm game (He's a MAD Storm fan!! :_)
