About 8 years ago, I took a rusted out 1955 Chrysler Windsor wire wheel to a custom wheel maker and have him build me four of them in a FWD application. The fronts are 15X6 with 43mm off-set and the rears are 15X7 with a 45mm off-set. Then I did a frame off restoration on a 1989 Reliant K LE, custom paint, vinyl top, etc., with through the entire engine, polished and ported the heads, etc. It's won quite a few local car shows, and the finished product was the goal when I first bought it after it had sat out in the desert for 13 years. 'We all have a K-Car dream!' ;)

You have one beautiful car, Chief. It is something special. Worth all your efforts.

You really are a K-car fan! Looks great! I bet those wheels cost you a small fortune; I priced just replating a set Mopar wire wheels a couple of years ago and it was not cheap. Is the underside of the car restored to the same high quality as above? Have any photos of the underside to share?

Thank you! The wheels and Vogue Tyres (English spelling on the tires) were over $5K all by themselves. The under-carriage is very clean, I'll have to snap a few pix the next time it's up on a rack!
