took the '69 to an autocross for the first time last weekend and quickly found out that 15" rims and BFG radial T/A's weren't meant for that kind of use. I've thought about some 17 or 18" rims before mostly for appearance, but now I'm more motivated to find a set of rims and tires for cheap and even swap them when I go to SOLO events if they aren't real pretty.
Any recommendations on inexpensive wheels that would fit our old cars with stock suspension? What tires will be the most bang for the buck that will give me good street driving and decent life as well as good grip for the track? If the wheels ain't exactly pretty I'd like to be able to put them on at home, drive 50-75 miles to an autocross, race, and drive home. Hell, it's worth it just to not have to deal with the trim rings on the rally wheels. What a PITA to take those off...
