New boots for baby!

[angelfj1]

After a bit of angst, I decided to retire the AR Wheels on my TR250. After all, they've been on for 25 years and are probably 35 years old. They are just too rare and valuable to take any chances and I really want to drive the car more often.

I opted for the 16" - Konig Rewind wheels and Falken Ziex tires.

I just took a quick drive down the local highway and I really like the feel and handling. I also think they look very good, although it may take some time for me to get used to them.

BTW, I was completely impressed by the service I received from Discount Tired Direct. It's obvious that they take their business very seriously!

Thanks to Paul Brosky for his advice and counsel!

Very Nice! What's the deal on the AR wheels - 4 lugs & a knock-off?

 

[angelfj1]

The 4 lug nuts do all the work of securing the wheel. "Nok-Off" spinners were a common accessory for AR Wheel owners. They have an internal course thread that screws onto the center hub - completely cosmetic. They are very rare and collectible!

WOW!! I wasn't sure if you were going with the dark centers and I'm really glad you did. It looks fantastic.

Now the big question. How does it feel on the road?
