I am thinking about getting some new wheels / tires.
The rims on my car I believe are original. At least the previous owner said they were but he didn't mention it until after the deal was already done and then was adamant that I should have them dipped instead of replacing with repops.
The problem is that locally I can only find one guy that will refinish them and he wants $200 / rim. Ouch....
I've been thinking about going to CJ Pony parts and getting some new repop rims and just buying them with the tires already mounted and balanced, etc. I can always put the rims on the car in the attic or under the workbench if they appear to indeed be original when I check the back of the rims. Something I keep forgetting to do every time I have them off and I am too lazy to take one off just to check, LOL!
My car currently has the original size (14?) on the car.
Since redoing my third member...I am up to a 23 tooth gear which seems to be the most teeth you can buy (?) and it still reads 5 mph over what you're actually going. Not a big deal since I usually drive 5 mph over anway, now I just drive 10 over, LOL!
If I were going to get new wheels / tires...should I stick with 14's or look into some other size? I was wondering if going up in size would cure my speedometer problem at the same time since I believe tire height is a part of that equation.
