Finally got out on the road and discovered the old dry rotted tires are egg shapes from the years of sitting flat! So off with the tires:
Tire Removal Pic And upon inspection, decided to have the rear wheels cleaned, blasted and powdercoated...
Pic of rusty wheels Got them to a friend who has a custom coatings shop and in the mean time have my new tires, tubes, and liners waiting... Also, picked up two 16" front wheels from a junk yard off a 1980 1-ton chevy. Will use these as I still search for matching 18's to have all 6 matching. Kind of like the rake with the 16s on the front though!
