Well the rims were free just had to buy tires the fronts are 15 x 7 with 225/60/r15 and the rears are 15x8 with 255/60/r15 just thought I would go with a different look other wise I would have left the originals on there. The rears aren't deep dish but it gives it a nice stance and here is a pick of the date they were made.

Bad *ss dude

some of you might think they're too "old school" styled or whatever
but that style of wheel, and most vintage aftermarket wheels from the 60's and 70's are definitely making a come-back.
Alot of people are sick of seeing the "pro-touring" style, that has been COMPLETELY played out.
Vintage OEM and aftermarket wheels are the current-to-next-big-thing for sure.

Wheels from that era look right at home on our Gbody cars, especially if you pull off the tire combo and stance too.

I absolutely love the aftermarket wheels from back then. They had so much more character than the newer wheels made today. I plan on getting another set of vintage wheels for my car as well. Next time I'm going even more rare (only seen 3 sets of my current wheels EVER)

disagree completely. Back in the day, there were TONS of wheels available. But only a few were REALLY popular, and pretty much littered every car show, and most of the cruisers people saw. Kind of like how THE torq-thrust-2's pretty much dominated the scene for several years....almost a decade, in the 2000's. But there were still plenty of cool wheels besides TT2's, TTM's, etc.
