You will be very glad that you did.We need some information on your rims and brakes. Simply give us a telephone call or email us for more information and pricing. Let us explain all the advantages of having your chrome Thunderbird wire wheels and tires purchased as a package. ▪ Shipping Costs: It is less expensive to ship a wheel and tire package than to purchase wheels and tires and have them shipped separately. Many owners plan on installing their old tires onto their new wheels, only to find out subsequently that a responsible tire shop will refuse to work on tires over six years old! ▪ Safety: More and more states and countries are outlawing or imposing liability for harm caused by tires that are six years old or older. We make sure that you have the right size, quality, and price when you select your wheel and tire package. ▪ Great Selection: We offer our customers nearly any brand, size, and style of whitewall tire on the market. Worse yet, the installer will cause your wheel to leak or the installer might not be able to balance your wheel and tire at all! All the while, the customer is spending hours watching, waiting, and hoping that the installer does the job right and without harming their new wheels and tires. What often occurs is that an inexperienced technician will scratch, dent, or drop your wheel, causing harm to it. Most tire shops do not have proper, modern installation equipment or experience to do the job right. ▪ Ease of Installation: Sadly, there are too few tire shops capable of mounting and properly balancing wire wheels and classic, whitewall tires.
