alsancle Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Like the car but I hate the wheels. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Yup. If you're gonna put aftermarket wheels on a 1960s car, they should be period correct. Chrome reverse, Cragar or Keystone. Preferably with a 3/4" or narrower whitewall. Torq-Thrust were available back then but don't do much for this Comet. The saving grace is they're easily changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Top needs replacing, but if that’s a big concern, save some money and buy a hardtop. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
