It's a matter of personal preference. Some people hate them but I like them. They're extremely hard to find with good chrome. Re-chroming is cost prohibitive with the aluminum centers and you have to worry about them being put back together concentrically. Soooo, perfect originals command a premium. I've known about these for over 15 years and I finally stepped up. He had them stored in his bedroom closet for over 20 years, fresh off the show car.

I want to thank Rich Peters for going above and beyond in searching for this post. I would of never found it. Buddy you are the MAN. BTW the shocks have been restored. Unfortunately no luck with the Uniroyal Tiger Paws tires. Going with Firestone instead.

My Canadian 67 Camaro came with D70 x 14 uniroyal tigerpaw redline tires. The GM of Canada documentation I received lists redline tires and the bill of sale shows that they were Uniroyal tigerpaws. I am looking for a nice original one for a spare. I would even consider another brand in the D70 x 14 size.
