New 15" wheels...

[TURNA]

Very nice!!!!!

I love the looks of a set of factory mags/rally wheels!!!

Cool...I think I like the 225/60 or 65s all round idea. why are you going right back to stock?

I'll be leaving the 255/60's on the rear, but yes, I'm going back to 215/65's up front.

The biggest reason for going back is my headers. The rear-most primary tube on each side wraps around the framerail and slips into the collector, reducing the amount of space for wheel clearance.
I still have yet to build some steering stops to keep the tires from touching the header tube, but I'd like to get as much turning radius out of it as I can once I do.

blake, whats up with that lower trunk gap, is it supposed to be like that? maybe mine just looks different cuz it has the chrome trim around it

I vote to leave the rims alone as well....things look brand new! I think the grey will compliment the blue, and not overpower the overall look of the car.

Thanks for the comments. I think gray is the way to go as well. I had blue on my mind because of a 2 door Cutlass I used to see around painted the same color blue with matching 14" rallys and it looked wicked. But the more I picture them on my car I lean toward the gray. And if I get bored with that I can always paint em later. :wink:

Anyone know any good tires in the above sizes with white walls? Or any other recommended ones?

That's how it is from the factory.
The lower angle I stood at taking those pics makes it more noticable. Standing at regular height, you wouldn't see it.
I've got a pretty keen eye, and as far as I can tell, the decklid has never been off the car. The fasteners have never been turned.
If they had taken it off when it was repainted before I bought it, then maybe the trunk jamb wouldn't be full of primer over-spray...
