I always liked those Corvette rims. They should look nice on your wagon. Definitely post some pics of your wagon with the wheels installed.

Nice!!!
I'm working on a set for my 88 Monte Carlo SS. Let us know how the Corvette center cap work with your wagon, when I test fitted mine the center grease cap on both front hubs pushed the Corvette center cap out. I'm going to end up using the center caps from the checkerboard wheels I had on my El Camino which are slightly taller.

Nice job on the restoration!:cool:

I hope they look as good as I was thinking. been looking for some time. Always to far away or to much money. Got these at the KyIana swap in louisville 2 weeks ago. The usable tires put me over the edge. 275 for the wheels and 75 for new centers and lugs.
Did some experimenting with polishing technique. Used some turtle wax rubbing compound then never dull and finish with mothers aluminum and mag polish. HOLY smoke that mother is good stuff!

I got the wheels on. I think I go the look I want. Maybe lower the front.
I just don't have pic yet. It is in between cars and dirty and getting an interior transformation.
