Those tires and wheels give that buggy a nice stance.

| Hi. Nice buggy. Which tire and wheel combo is the new one? I don't want to compliment the wrong one, but I like those big tires in the pic with white wheels. |

No worries !!! The new combo is the white. I powder coated a set of centerlines and went with the bigger tires |

It definitely did. Still pulls like a mule but now can do 60mph @ 3200rpm vs 53mph. |

Good krist, what gears do you have? Even with a 4.37 r/p and .89 4th gear you should only be turning 2200rpm @ 60mph with 33 inch tires. |
