I utterly dig the lift during the max power run at the end. Impressive!

While these are my favorite rims on a Malibu, as long as you are going to hint at it with the badges, how about a set of chrome GN wheels, maybe even aftermarket 17s?
I’d love a set of the GN wheels but they are kinda pricey these days. We got the car as a roller and it came with these little 14’s which I do like the way they look on it. WWHP “white wall horse power” goes with the theme lol

Very cool wagon. Welcome aboard. Another choice of wheels for your car are the Pontiac GTA/ GNX style wheels. Subtle, yet would give one a hint of what's under the hood. ;)
I didn't realize that the G-body of the month, this month, is sporting a set of those wheels. That should give you an idea of how they'd look on your ride.

Wow! Nice wagon! I love the wheels for the stock look, the ultimate sleeper right here (with a little whistle to warn unsuspecting Mustangs :sleep:)
