Wheel and tire combo's

Post by Twin Detonator »

What modern wheels look good on vintage RC 10's? I really don't want plain looking B4 style wheels.

What modern rear tires look close to the original or at least have big knobbly's on them?
Any ideas, pics, links will be great!
Thanks,
Lynn

The link below lists what's possible, including B4 wheels, so if you do what's needed to fit them you could go for JConcepts Rulux wheels which look good.

For 'old skool' style tyres how about these Schumacher full spikes?

Most schuey dealers should be able to get them

Thanks for the info!
Bummer, I was just hoping for a simple swap of new to old to get me by for now. :lol:
I'll keep looking for some vintage wheels/tires.

If you'd asked that question about wheels & tires for Optima/Ultima, I would've had a dozen recommendations for you...but I don't know much about RC10's. :)

Thanks anyway though!
All I see on eBay are jelly bean fronts, but never rears. I would really like to grab both together. Even if I could just get the jelly bean backs, I could get those aluminum Jelly bean covers from eBay I've seen.
