I'm not entirely sure but I am leaning towards these.

Even though it's becoming a less popular size, I'm 99% sure I'm staying with a 15". I run 275/40/18 on my truck and it rides noticeably rougher than before so I probably won't go that size again. They'll probably be the last thing I buy since I have a brand new set of 14's to use as rollers that I bought two weeks before I blew up the motor.
Those look OK. I've seen them on a few cutlasses

Those wheels will look sharp on there.

Thanks. I feel like I'm dragging my feet. When I moved into the house 9 months ago I was out in the shop every day. Now, there will be 2 or 3 days I won't even unlock the door. I've got to get on it though because I want this car finished by spring.

With the cold weather here it's hard to get motivated to do anything. Happens alot I imagine. Looks like when you do work you certainly don't fool around!

He's in Conroe, which is about 10 miles north of me. We haven't seen any kind of cold like you guys. Still, in an unheated shop, once it gets in the mid to low 40's, it hurts motivation.

Progress is progress man. Keep up the good work.

It hasn't been cold enough to keep me out of the garage. I've been busy with work and a new girlfriend. But she loves the Olds and even better, my CB750 chopper project. So I'm motivated to continue.

Thanks for the pic. I want a race car look and those rims do it. I also looked at some slots. I'm not sure though. I'll probably change my mind twenty times before I buy them.
