That right there is HAWT!

 

It's a 64 Plymouth Barracuda.

 

those are serious track or autocross rims............GREAT choice

 

I really like those, your older ones were a good thing to loose.

 

They look great! Man-wheels in a world of boyish "rims"

 

MUCH better.

 

CCW's were my original wheel of choice. I had a good oportunity to get the Meisters a few years ago and jumped on them. If they weren't such a total PITA to mount a tire on I'd still have them.

 

why were they so hard to mount tires onto?

 

 

Because Work picks the worst location EVER to put a valve stem. The bead of the tire has to slide over the stem to seat the bead. They are also reverse mount wheels which complicate mounting even more.

So, you clamp the wheel face down with no valve stem, then mount the tire. Seat both beads with a blow gun through the valve stem hole. Then you get to break down the inside bead and fish the valve stem back into the wheel.

45 minutes to an hour to mount each tire.

I can mount 4 tires and balance them on the CCW's in under 45 minutes.
