Good job on finding the C8 rims! I am certainly looking forward to the resto of your Cab 12 C8.

Did you know that BKT tyres has taken over de Olympic 9.00x13 moulds? see, the 9.00x13 tyre thread.

Good to know
Thanks Alex
Resto has been a drawn out process thus far
The problem we seem to have in Australia is that there is very few importers of certain tyres.
I have been looking for a while now and doing the ring around in Australia
I was looking at MRF for a bit but they were only implement rated tyres (although C8 speed would not be an issue)
As of Monday i have found a dealer that has another brand of tyre in a sand grip pattern in 900 X 13 now (name escapes me at the moment) which are road rated as well.
Not the cheapest at $280 compared to the MRF that were $180 a piece plus tubes and still looking for rust rings .
Now just have to save the pennies and get a couple of sets. Hopefully this importer wont stop importing these in the mean time
