Thanks, Evolution! Hey, those rims are 30 somethin' plus years old! Still have no idea what brand they are. What would I need to bring them back like new???

RWL!! I also like those wheels, they look great on your car. Who makes them?

OOPS! I Didn't realize there was a page 2 to this. Your car looks great with the RWL. Maybe those are Fenton wheels, they are real hard to come by.

Here's my vote.

Very Nice

 

[BruceBed]

I say RWL. They make the contrast on the car and it looks period correct.

Very Nice

Thank you. I rather like this car. Last drive of the season last Sunday.

It took several months but I finally finished the interior.

 

[Z28ImpalaSS]

Hey, those look really good.
How do they ride?
Are they smoother, rougher or just right?

 

[RVN]

Definitely RWL! For me, cars from that era begged for the "parking lot" tire look.

Mitch I have the RWL Firehawks on my 81,and also feel that they look better then the solid blackwalls. Ken

 

[entropy454]

I vote RWL. looks good with the black for contrast!

 

[Vette79]

Ken, how are the Firehawks? I just bought 4.

 

[hdkeno]

Jeff,

The Firehawks are a great tire,look great handle and ride very good.
You made a good choice.

In 3 years (only) 3k on them,I havent even had to add air to the tires.

A friend of mine manages a local Firestone center,and I first saw a set of them on his black 80 vette,and they also looked great on it,

I was worried that I bought them a little to quickly. I currently have Hoosier G/T's installed and couldn't find anything remotely the same. The Firehawks appear to have better ratings then BF Goodrich and Eagle II G/T's. I only drive in dry weather so my concern was handling and performance at high speeds.

Jeff,

I think you made a good choice - and they're easy to find in case you need to replace. I have the Firehawks on the Camaro; I like 'em.

To bad winter is here. I would love to put these on now. Thanks, Ralph.

Raised White Letters!

I have the Firestone Firehawks on mine and I think they look great. I always get a lot of compliments on them - one guy thought they were a special order tire!

RWL for sure, just to say I was 18 when this car came out and it came with RWL and looked great.
With a Black Vette the white just gives it that extra " kickem in the a$$ Leroy " look.
