Factory Olds 14x6 painted Ralleys'

[Injectedcutty]

It's too nice out here today to have her in the garage.... get out and play with her before the rain moves in later this weekend!

I wish I could man! It lacks this....

And this among many, many other things..

I'm still fighting with assembly from it coming back from paint. See my build thread "87 CuTTlass EFI..."

Will take a read. In the meantime I see a pink/white bicycle there... appears to be kids?....

How about this:

1) a tow rope from the frame horns to the bike

2) get a long stick and tie some kind of candy/treat/cash/toy dangling.

3) place child on bike, then, lean out car window ace ventura style with stick, suddenly dangling in front of said child.

Want to turn left? Swing the stick. Right? Swing it again. Stop? Raise it in the air so they stop and look up.

Better treats = more speed. More children also = more speed.

Oldsmobile did not use "Rallyes". That was Pontiac in the 60s.

Carry on.......

Those Pontiac Ralley's are one of the best looking factory wheels. I stand corrected, mine are the Oldsmobile SS wheels.

Here ya go. I still use my 14x6 wheels until I get rubber for the 17's and do the brake upgrade. The tires are 245/60/14 BFG's, and as the guys mentioned they balloon on the sidewalls. A 225, or 235 would be better.

For a factory set up, those look sharp. Thanks for the pic.

Thanks for the opinions and pic's. I think I've decided to go the cheap route with 4 of the 205/70's. Then keep my eye out for some old school 15 inch weld wheels. Doesn't matter the style. The all look good to this 46 year old. I'm gonna run my stockers with no trim ring, fresh coat of black paint and a fine double red pin-stripe on the outside edge. I've got two of them 'detired' so I'll post a pic after I get 'em painted.

Thanks man. They looked better when my car was black....

I've got some 17's sitting in boxes waiting for tires. The stock wheels will be retired since the brake upgrade won't work with them.

Those 17's will look good. Do you have a spec on how much those 17's weigh? If you're interested in selling the center caps to your stockers, I sure would be interested.

If I recall the 17's weigh around 24 or 25lbs a piece. I will think about the center caps, I'd prefer to sell them with the wheels, but not out of the question.

Fair enough. Keep me in mind.
