You can have this set, but they look like they should be painted. I have all the centers and trim rings.

Thanks guys! I think I'm sold on the pontiac ralley's, although it will be quite a while until I get to them lol! Now I just have to figure out whether I want to stay with 14" or go to 15", lots of time to think about it though.

Texas T, my car started out life with a SBC in it anyway, a 267. It's funny, all of the stuff I've read about the LeMans I've never seen that engine listed as an option. Must be because it's a made in Canada car?

In that case, a nitrous huffing 406 with a really built 2004r, and an 8.5 out back sporting some 3.73s would make for an eleven second and possibly into the tens with traction. Overdrive for the cruise and a deep first gear to get it rolling.

Just throwing out suggestions. Pix of the progress are great.
 
Spent a lazy Canadian Thanksgiving Monday afternoon out in the garage teat fitting the rally II's I bought (thanks crazyliver!). Once I get them cleaned up and painted I think they'll look awesome! Even as they are they're a great improvement. Also go looking at my rust issues in the LR wheelwell area hoping they can be fixed, I'm getting a little worried about it. Anyways, here's some pics. I've almost got it all torn down for the body/paint.

Update... well there's really nothing to update. I've been kind of in parts gathering mode for the last few months. It's been pretty frustrating seeing her sitting in the garage with no progress since probably last October. I only have a couple of more odds and ends to take car of before it's ready to send in for body and paint (well that and saving up the $$ lol). Every time I look at it I get nervous that I'm going to take it in to the shop and their going to tell me that they can't repair some of the rust issues I've discovered. The suspense is killing me lol! Just thought I'd throw in a venting session before I go in for night shift.
