I know of one person that was able to get 77 material from them. something like this is best to call. could also do a search on google for factory or oem vinyl material reupholster auto. there are other sources and no... materials changed throughout the years

looks like SMS only goes up to 1975. Would the colors be the same for the later models?

Would you run these wheels?
« on: September 25, 2011, 01:38:31 PM »
Mixed feelings about them. Paint, polish or trash?                 Plus I wanted to try a resized photo.

Hey thats not bad and alot easier than polishing. These came on the car when I got it, I would not have picked them out but its kind of a challenge to see what can be done to them.

I would run them. I always say its the height and width of the tire that make it look good. Are they 13s, 14s 15s?

14s by 5.5, I looked it up they actually are factory fairmont wheels. The tires are 205 70 r14 btw. But they are dry rotted and I will be replacing them soon maybe i'll play with tire sizes.

Some powdercoat and polish would make those look good.

When I saw the picture of just the wheel I thought trash but after seeing the wheels on your car I would definitely polish them.
