Which wheels?

[tallhair]

I know white walls are very much preferred here but for me only with number 1.

Numbers 2 and 3 would be better with white letters.

I would personally go with 3.

Nice car and do whatever you like best.

Hard top and vinyl = Road wheels. My choice. Dog dish go on fleet sedans and low option cars, on a hard top it's not a fit in my eyes.
I think your full covers are the first standard cover you could get with a hardtop.

How are the tires feeling?

How are the tires feeling?

Haven't driven it much but the little i have I would say I'm pleased with the ride quality, they are definitely softer than the radial t/a's that were on there before.

The first time I took my Newport to Famoso Raceway, I kept spinning my tires: TA Radials. A guy came up and suggested I drop the psi to 15. He told me he had a compressor where I could pump them back up before the drive home. When I asked why he said, "TAs are hard tires." Never knew that, but I do like the ride better with the Cooper GTs I have in it now.

T/As have always turned to hockey pucks after a year.

Mine lasted 12 years., The guy I sold the Shelby Cal 500s and the TAs too continued to use them on his Ford.

TA tread last for ever because so hard. Good peel out tires to impress the curb riders. (spectators)
