Rims (not asking how big my tires could be)

Hey guys,
I am looking for some 18's for the rear and 17's for the front. Is anybody running the same thing? How about good places to look?
Thx

Cutlass79, I like those night shots of your car, but it's kinda hard to see the rims. The main problem with my rim choice is that it seems that it's hard to get one style of rim in 18 and 17. Also finding that most 18 are still only 8 wide. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spots.

What wheels do you have In mind? May be able to point you in the right direction.

thanks those are my fav pics of the car.but in those pics it has the stock rally wheels. i had pics up of the car after i put my 17'' american racing torq thrust 2 on and i dont kno where thay went there not in my pics any more.ill post them back up here after a bit.imo the american racing wheels torq thrust rims are the best looking rims for a gbody in any size up to 20s

Yes the American racing torques work, but they seem to be on every car older than 2000. I was looking for something alittle different. Something like there burnout, or nova. Doesn't have to be American racing.

17x8 in the front with 225/50/17 and 18x9.5 in the rear with 255/40/18. Wheels are Coys Wheels C5's.

Jrm81bu, that's pretty sweet. I'm a big fan of flat colors but man it works for your set.

I have 17x8 in the front and 18x8.5 in the rear on my El Camino. I think the setup is perfect!
