After a bunch of work, I got my "Silverstones" on.

Very Nice !!
 
Very nice...they look good. :thumbsup:
 
Balonies!!

215/70/15 on white bread.

Rides fine, running 35 pounds front and rear. Still taking it easy, as the right rear rubs a little on the rear tube shock mount.
I purchased some 1/4 inch wheel spaces and longer lug nuts, will try that tonight after work.
 
MAG-nifico.
 
They look real good on the TR-6. I'll never understand why the US dealers discontinued offering the AR Wheels after the TR250.

Question: did you paint the spokes or did you let them develop a natural "patina"?
 
Sweet looking wheels and car.

It looks like it's ready for a few laps at Lime Rock or the Glen.
 
I agree! Good looking car/paint/wheel combo....
 
35 pounds Yikes!
Just a bit ridgey in the turns?
I would sure try some 32 - 34 etc combos
I would wonder if you wouldn't you'll get a grippier and smoooother ride ?

They are things of beauty!
 
I painted the wheels with "smoke Gray". I wanted to keep the look of the "raw metal" but I could not get them clean enough, maybe if I had bead blasted them it would have looked ok.

But "time and money" .....

I tired a few different colors of paint on the wheels before I decided on the final color


So I cleaned them with lots of different cleaners, applied a self etching primer and them painted them with the smoke gray, then with a mat finish clear coat.

Big test Drive on Saturday. To Cars and Coffee in Irvine, Calif.
 
Nice look, Richard. Very nice indeed.
