    I am trying to picture a set of Type A's on it and I am not liking the image that I am getting. Don't get me wrong, cause I absolutely love Type A's. (wish i had two sets for each of my cars) I just don't see those rims flowing smoothly with the body lines of your car. Just my .

    Its slow... I promise

    Type As would look good. No more than 17s though.

    It doesn't look low at all. But the fender gap needs to be eliminated. Later, QD.

    Maybe I should have said the ride height is pretty good. If the front matched the back it would be great.

    Way lower than anything made today

    I guess the picture is deceptive because it looks just as high as any other car out there. Unless you're viewing it from where the tires sit close to the fender well.

    Just to let you know, I'm definitely not knocking the car as I love it. It's much better looking than the one in your sig. I just hope you didn't call it a "canvas" because you're planning on messing with it like the one in your sig. Later, QD.

    Then I'd definitely just lose the fender gap and throw those wheels on it and call it a day. Later, QD.

    I'm guessing this is an automatic? Just curious. Beautiful car, in any case. My Dad used to have one when they were new.

    It is. I wish it was a 5 speed but I wasn't about to pass on a super clean chassis/interior/paint/etc with extremely low miles for the year over a transmission. A 5 speed swap is quick and not too terrible and certainly not expensive so I scooped this up.

    Enjoying it actually
