I like this car.

It's kind of growing on me also. Not my favorite body style car by any means. But man it runs good. I will be ordering wheels for it today hopefully so maybe by the end of this week we can give it a whole new look. Then we can get some interior put in it

You can't tell me that doesn't look good.

I can.

That doesn't look good.

Big diameter wheels and low profile tires will never look right on a vintage vehicle to me. I'm not a restoration guy by any means, but era specific mods are way more tasteful and less fad-ish.

My three cents...

 

[DozerII]

I agree completely with BED

 

[Bamamav]

X3 with BED! 5 spokes, Torque Thrust style or Cragar SS! 16" and 15" would be as large a diameter wheel I'd go with. Even a set of Ansen style 5 hole slotted mags would look great. Still like the Magnum 500's too!

Well I'm going to **** all you guys off. It's not getting 15 inch wheels. It's getting 18 x 7 and 18 x 10. Not my decision anyway, it's the customers. I just happened to agree with him. Not going to say that all cars should have them. Some do deserve a or vintage look, or one that looks more original to the car. This guy wants to make this one look more modern

I agree with You....

I think you are right.

And it looks great .

No worries man, takes a lot more than a unattractive wheel/tire combo to p*ss me off.

My point was that fads come and go, but classic styling is always cool. If funky big wheels are what your customer wants and he can't be convinced otherwise - so be it. You can lead a horse to water...

Good to hear LOL. Don't want to make any of my car but he's mad! I agree with The Fad thing, but I still think it's going to look good

Not gonna P me off either. I might be wrong, I was once before , it might look good with wagon wheels and rubber band tires. I just prefer a tire with a decent sidewall. To me, giant wheels went out with T models, and a classic doesn't have to look modern to be cool.

But, the customer is always right, except when he is wrong....[ddd[ddd[ddd

By the way, what's a but he? Heard of a butthead, but a but he is a new one on me.

Different vehicles lend an eye to larger diameter wheels and I think the cat is one of them

I agree. The silver one posted looks really good. It's possible to give a more modern look but not go overboard, which it sounds like is the plan. They're just wheels, people need to relax

"There's no accounting for taste." By that, I mean ugly wheels don't change what they're attached to.

I'm just glad the owner doesn't want airbags, 22s, a Coyote engine, Ostrich skin seats and neon lights.

I'm not. (Pooper parties are simply not my thing.)
