I'd be happy with a set of Longchamp XR-4 in 15" as well. The owner (understandably) refuses to sell them to me:

Re: Wheel Pictures
Nice wheel/tire combo. How's the cornering response and traction of your bf goodrich tires in the rain? I'm planning to purchase a set because I saw a good deal online.redroadster68 wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 4:30 pm One more pic. 195/55/15 comp front

Re: Wheel Pictures
Sorry. I literally never drive in the rain. All the tire comparisons have them as excellent in wet though. So far I really like them on dry. Very good grip , predictable. Excellent aggressive cornering

Re: Wheel Pictures
as you guys know I'm always trying some new wheels and I think I found what to me is the perfect specs for a 65-67 car
The wheels are Old school Drag 902 from the late 70s early 80s, I picked them up a few weeks ago and had them refinished in Volvo Twilight Bronze
15x6.5 with an offset of +22 in the front and running a 5mm spacer in the back for a final of +17
Tires are 195/55/15
front is lowered on Mike Young springs and riding on Konis
I did try them on the white car and while I think the color actually look better on it, the fit was much better on Mrs Blue

Yes, at first I was "Brown? Hmmmmm" but they quickly grew on me, and they do look perfectly set up for both cars. Very nice.

Re: Wheel Pictures
I didn't realize 15x6.5 would fit on our cars. No shorten rear axle?

Re: Wheel Pictures
I know they're bronze and they look it... it was more of an expression of my first glance, a kinda "whaaaaa?" and then looking closer, letting the color contrast settle in me, then "Wow, I like that... not what I would expect." They are beautiful man and worth all the effort.

Re: Wheel Pictures
It looks nice, it seems like a lot of people are into bronze wheels nowadays. I always see this design all over the internet.Pjackb wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 10:28 pmThanks , the screen makes them look more brownish then they actually areGregs672000 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 9:59 pm Yes, at first I was "Brown?
