I have white steelies and they're back to looking grubby and terrible after just a few drives. I'm tired of taking a rag and Simple Green to them every other day I have the car on the road. 1967 Dodge Coronet Deluxe station wagon 1.03" T-bars, QA1 arms/rods, Cordoba/GM Metric/Volare brake & knuckle, XHDs, Hellwig rear sway, 318 Magnum w/ air gap, 727, 3.23s

Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.
