Continental Kit?
If you are planning on running a steel belted radial tire, it is
possible that the tire will not fit in your Continental kit due to
dimensions differing from the original bias-ply tires. Please
discuss this with us. We cannot guarantee whether a tire will fit in
your Kit due to varying dimensions.

Features

Our
wheels |
Competition |
| Construction |
Hand-made in
California. Exact-fit hub specially made for each year
Thunderbird. |
Built in a
far-off land. Hub often generic style to fit all types
of cars leading to incorrect fit. |
| Chrome-plating |
Superior chrome plating and construction. A wire wheel you can be proud of. |
Unknown amount
of plating - often inferior quality. Yellowish
appearance. Back of wheel not polished. Peeling chrome. |
| Plating
method |
Entire rim is
polished and plated front and back and all parts chrome plated
first and then individually assembled. |
Plated and
polished on front side of rim only and pre-assembled
before plating. The result is an inferior appearance and
rust protection. |
| Fit |
Guaranteed to
fit including fender skirts. Correct back-spacing for
each year Thunderbird. |
Clearance
problems particularly with spinner hitting skirts. One
size fits all backspacing. |
| Quality
Control |
Every set is
gauge-tested twice for accuracy. All spokes expertly
trued not requiring future truing. |
Often wheels
wobble, loose spokes and pitted chrome. Frequent truing
may be required. |
| Spinner
caps |
Made from
steel with correct emblems. Securely fit and do not
rotate or fly off. |
Plastic often
used or incorrect appearing style. Vibration and noise
due to poor fit. Gasket required. |
