Christmas Tree Hauler + Fondmetal Canonica rims

[Marsattacks]

I posted a couple of these elsewhere but I did owe the group a few shots of the new wheels.  I bought them from he who shall not be named (long separate post).

Nice car! Are you going out to the woods to cut your own trees? 

[Marsattacks]

I must confess that I have done it — but not this year or with this car!

[Eissmann]

getting back on topic...those wheels are beautiful!

A Christmas Card worthy photo there.

Good looking rims--at first glance they look like BWA SportStars, but have more detail on 'em.  Not sure I've ever seen 'em in person.

Mars, is that 085 Chamonix? What brand?   It looks great, kind of creamy, in the photos anyway.  (I have a ‘72 I dream of painting one day).  Tom

It is a non-OEM color.  This car originally was Polaris (a 1974 version I assume — the sticker is still there I just don’t have it handy).  I would call the current color (repainted by prior owner) a pearlescent white.  It has a nice depth to it.  I have been told (but have no direct evidence) that it is Imron paint.  Just for fun here is a larger picture that shows the paint and better detail of the wheels.  I hope it isn’t too big for forum rules.

Are those bumpers tucked?  Great to see an air dam on a square tail (with bumpers). Do you mind sharing where you got it?

[Marsattacks]

Rear is tucked.  Front is not.  Air dam was on car when I bought it 10 or so years ago.  I think it is a pretty common fab similar to Ireland.  It is fiberglass AFAIK but not sure. Has bumper paint on it but a bit chipped.
