Redline tires on a Magnum

[BlakeAlden]

I just received these redlines that I had custom made. Here is a picture of one. They are going to go on my silver RT this week. To me the Magnum is a musclecar and deserves redlines like a musclecar should have. I'm going to be putting them on the stock RT 18" wheels. Any thoughts? Go easy....I'm trying something that I haven't seen anywhere else. I guess I'll have to wait until they go on the car to see how they really end up looking. I'll post more pictures soon.

Hey...I like it. I like when you "think outside the box".

Get some pictures up when you got 'em on!

Are you selling the orginal tires?

[BlakeAlden]

I think I'll keep the original tires for now in case I decide to wear them down on purpose.
DMAG.....Now it will be easier to spot my Magnum around the Scarsdale area. If you see me say hello.

[DMAG]

Absolutely! There will be no mistaking your car now! As for me, look for the prematurely balding 30-something year old driving an old Grand Cherokee or a new Sonata.

I thought I saw you a week or two back up by Greenburgh cinema.

Ok you do know that balding in your thrities isn't premature right? I started loosing my hair at 14, but it slowed down when I hit my mid 20's so most of my late 20's friends have caught up with me.

[DMAG]

Yeah...I started in my early twentie's....its slowed down a bit. (thankfully!)

I think they will stand out against the color of you car and will look pretty good!

[BlakeAlden]

Thanks. If I don't like the way they look I can always just flip them around to the other side, so no big deal. I think they would look good on most colors but I will soon find out. Curious to see what others think. Thanks.

i think it's a great homage to the originals, very fitting.. my opinion is: who cares what other people might think, those that know what redlines are will 'get it', and that's what it's all about!

if you're able to post the info on where you got them, i'm sure you might find some others interested, myself included!

[Cucamonga Red RT]

I think they will look great. Especially on my inferno red RT

[Rev.Hammer]

Very Nice! Very cool old skool!

[BlakeAlden]

Here are some pics of the redline tires installed on my RT. Honestly, I'm not sure if I like them as much as I thought that I would. I've decided to try them out for a month or two and if I'm still not crazy about them, they will probably get turned around to the original side for the winter and then 22's will go on for next summer. I will post a couple of pics in better lighting tomorrow. Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

I think they look good. Makes you do a double take when you see them. Not something you see on many cars.

I have never seen redstripe tires. How about adding some more subtle red accents -

Red Calipers
Red pinstripes
Red Suede or Alcantara Suede seat inserts

Just a thought!

I have always loved redline tires on 60's muscle cars. I appreciate the thoughts on the red accents but I think its more of an "either or" situation. I'm considering pinstriping the car but it might be too much. I want to keep the changes subtle, so if I lose the tires it will get striped. I was considering white inserts on the seats against the light graystone leather, again not to be too overpowering.
