Hey! I'm sportin' wood!

You're all gay. ALL of you. Just kidding. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Seriously the woodgrain looks sweet. The bonneville nose is awesome!!! Maybe because I'm biased because it's similar to the GP and I'm addicted to it, but it's nice and clean, it's a not-too-square, not-too-pointy, and looks sick IMO.

Lose the wheels and put some nice Pontiac rallye II's on it. Then you'd have a kick-*ss combo with the wood.

Well, it had them on it, but 14x6 aint going to cut it....and for what people want for a decent set of 15s, I'll buy something aftermarket. I'd really rather have 16 or 17s anyway. The Sonoma wheels were already on hand so i thought I'd try them out.

I'm in the same boat. My car has the 14" rallyes and they aren't going to stay either. Coys C5's, Rev Classics, Boss 338's look pretty good and the cost isn't too bad. I'm leaning towards the Rev Classics 17x7 front, 17x9 rear if they'll fit.

You can't go more than 4.5" on the backspace on the rear with stock wells/frame. Had 17x8s with 245s on my last Bonneville wagon, and it was close, REAL close on the right side, since the bodies are not always dead-center on the frame.

I was thinking maybe a 1/2" spacer and rolling the fender lip in the rear if need be. The spacing on those is 5". If it's a no-go than I'll probably have to go with the 17x8's.
