Special thanks to FABO member Hotrod340 of the Amarillo Mopar club for digging these up That looks mean with the Keystones on it! I'd like to go with the Keystones however the choices of tires in 14" are pretty low. I have a set of 15" Torque Thrusts in small bot patteren that I will be running on this car.
