[jlat]

hello people: I had a 69 Cutlass for years and if it was me just take off those trim rings and see what ya got. With my 69 that was I did. Funny thou one minute you like em and then not. But if you remove them could you post a pic.

The first set of rims I bought for my 86' Regal were some old 15 x 8 ARE rims but later went with a 17 x 8.5 mesh style wheel to give it more of a GNX look to match how the car had changed, I will use my ARE's on another Gbody down the road.

That looks damn good, how do you like your motor setup?

I like it alright, the motor was supposed to replace the old truck 350 that was in my 78 Chevette. Lol. If I knew I was going to be building a g body I probably would have started with an LS.

It's an 87 truck block 2 bolt mains, flat top pistons in the stock bores. 906 vortec heads, comp xm270h cam, some cheap *ss ebay intake, and headman long tubes that I absolutely hate...

still needs a little carb tuning I've got too much of the transition slots exposed so it's not using the idle circuit, runs strong otherwise.

I've got a T5 from an 85 Camaro swapped in, and a 3.73 posi rear out of a Monte SS

It will take off sliding sideways or do donuts if I want it too, just got some bugs to work out.

OPGI offers those Gnx wheels in 15s and 17s I think gold or black

I have only seen 16 x 8 and then the 18" and 19" versions that GbodyParts sells

I own a 86 chestnut Cutlass Salon with 442 wheels. I"m very happy with the look. Bill. WV
