Nascar Style Rims and Tires
Well I have decided to go with a nascar/race look for my sexy '04 monte ss and was wondering if anyone knows where i can find nascar style rims and the tires with the yellow lettering?
|
I actually just saw like a 03-04 SS whith these wheels and tires, and it looked sweet. I'd check tirerack.com.
|
The tires are going to be VERY hard to come by, just a little FYI
|
sweet ride on here with the nascar wheels and tires, check it out, sorry i should have gave thanks to juniorcar for stealing his pic!!

ok tires are gonna be hard to find but rims shouldnt be hard at all to find i believe u can even find them in 20's..... thats what i was gonna put on my car
|
the pic of juniorcar's Dale Jr has exactly what i'm looking for
|
Your best bet is Craigslist, but here I found white lettered Nascar tires here:
http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?ti...le+%231+NASCAR And I think Duplicolor makes a paint pen or something that you can color your lettering on your tires: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/hottires.html |
the pen is exactly what I need...now all i need to do is find the perfect set of rims
|
|
Those do look cool and it looks like a good deal and the seller has 100% feedback.
|
I think 18s would be a little too much rim for the Nascar look. It should almost look like steelies...
I'd say a 15 or 16" rim would look the best. More rubber on that wheel! |
id have to +1 on the 18's beign a little too much rim n no tire so it wouldnt look truely like a nascar...toobad its no like the old cars imo new cars have wntirely to much positive offset...
|
Those are the right rims, but finding Goodyear RWL (or yellow for that matter) that fit 18" will be tough, if not impossible. I pm'ed you, but those Nascar tires only come in one size - has to be 16". But mine are Primax Victory's. Contact the seller to see if he can get 16". Getting the exact righ offset is important too. I can't remember what it is. But I did have to grind my calipers to make them fit.
|
i was really just posting it for the pic...i planned on getting 16's fitted with a nice set of Goodyear tires and the final result...
Giggity lol (Gotta love that line) |
Let me know if you have to grind your calipers too. I was pissed off about that. I had to buy a grinder and, figuring I really needed it the once, went cheap. I nearly killed myself with that cheap grinder and worse. No matter how I tightened it, it would not stop throwing the disc off. It got the job done at high risk, no problems with the wheels since. Several places had to balance them to get it right.
Later, while grinding something else around the house (in my robe) I nearly castrated myself with that damn grinder. Launched the disk right through my legs and the robe. I threw it out. |

jr..sound like a b... just to get it to fit....why where u in a robe put there?...did ya just throd the disc or did ya shrapnel it... i had one shrapnel on me ...had a chunk of it in my knuckle..
|
It was pretty funny Taz! I can't remember ever having such good luck - its kind of invigorating like dodging bullets. But I did set to work on having kids right after that just in case my luck was running out.
The grinder just wouldn't hold the disks well. Exploding disks are probably worse. I was in my robe cause I was stupid. But it was just a quick small task where I was grinding soft plastics and I didn't think anything could go wrong. Look at me - I'm Jesus Christ! |
Junior...I picked up a similar paint pen to the duplicolor one you PM'd me about and i did the front drivers side so far on my eagle rs-a tires...looks great...cant wait to do the other 3 and see the reaction I get at the local car show this comming friday if the weather holds out.
|
Do the eagle rs-a's even have raised white lettering? I'm eager to see them. Truthfully, I hate the way these tires perform and ride. I love to get something better, but so few Goodyear's have raised white lettering to work with. If the paint works on black the scope is widened
|
well after all the time i put into making the first tire perfect...the paint started flaking off on my ride to and from work so it doesn't work on the black rubber...only the raised white letters i guess
|
I was afraid that would happen. I don't even know why it sticks to the white, but I do know it will flake off the white if its not scrubbed down good and clean first. I assume you did with the black as well - did you use steel wool?
|
There is a company that makes great wheels with the nascar look, you can get them from discount tire or other places.
http://www.barretire.com/Wheels/nascar.htm they are victory wheels that makes the nascar looking rims, google victory wheels and look online for them, you will like them, I am a big fan of this comapanies wheels |
didnt use steel wool...was kind of afraid it would pull some of the rubber off...i guess i'll give that a try once the weather gets better here...rain all weekend
|
