72Cutlass · 02-28-2008, 11:53 PM

very nice

branchman88 · 03-02-2008, 10:46 AM

I was looking at purchasing those. You just changed my mind. No offense, Im just not feeling them.

Pfiffle · 03-02-2008, 10:53 AM

Are you asking for opinions about your rims?

jojo66 · 03-02-2008, 11:09 AM

yeah i'll stick with my weld draglites. i'm not felling those at all

Cecil Anderson · 03-02-2008, 11:41 AM

The car looks so good forgot to check out the wheels. Andy

well I guess I am...but I understand some peoples comments, not feeling them. Its cool, I'm not "feeling" 14-15" wheels myself and stock especially, but thats just my opinion on wheels. If people did not have different styles, they would not make so many styles of rims. And to be honest I did not expect to get too many positive reply's as most here are for stock looks it seems, which is cool(I have a 61 conv caddy that is going stock on rebuild) I just know I like them and thats all that matters to me, I just thought I would share a pic. And it looks like I just help someone make a decision on the wheels they wont buy. Glad to help

And to dynamic88 and Cecil thanks for the comments

J-(Chicago) · 03-02-2008, 06:10 PM

I think they look pretty cool

Gert3116 · 03-02-2008, 06:36 PM

I agree with J, I think they look pretty good. I am looking at getting some torque thrust 2's, but these are almost the same but just a little different look. How expensive were they compared to the torque thrusts?

72Cutlass · 03-02-2008, 07:01 PM

I looked at the torq thrust 2's as well but these were only a few hundred more and I liked them a little more. Either way I think both look good.

redoldsman · 03-02-2008, 07:06 PM

They are not wheels I would buy but I am 61 years old. I really think they look pretty good. Thankfully they are not 22's or 24's. You are completely correct saying that is why they make different wheels. They only person that really matters is the guy writing the check. You might check with 2blue442 on this site for a 455. He is near you and is a great guy. You can trust him 100%. Enjoy your car.

Chaney3000 · 03-03-2008, 09:35 PM

Looks good man. I am searching for a big block to build up as well. Its plenty of guys here that are willing to help you out. Good luck with that.

Olds64 · 03-04-2008, 10:25 AM

Looks slick!

ddusty1 · 04-07-2008, 01:36 PM

Sorry bro, I think they take away from the car. I personally am fond of the Stock or Torque Thrust Ds.

But hey, If you like em, Im happy for ya! Sweet ride! I traded out Torque Thrust Ds for the Stockers.

Redog · 04-07-2008, 02:04 PM

Meh, I think the torque thrusts are better for an old car.

17's are not a bad size though, at least you didn't jack it up and throw 26's or 28's under it

gearheads78 · 04-07-2008, 02:22 PM

You asked for opinions so here goes...
It could be much worse. Its not bad but not anything I would buy on purpose. I don't like the Foose version either. Its not that I have anything agaist bigger wheels but pretty much don't like anything in a cast one piece chrome wheel. The car itself looks great. These are my opinions and its your car so feel free to ignor me.

Olds64 · 04-07-2008, 03:08 PM

The only thing that could make it look better is if it were a Delta 88 or a 98. Bigger = Better! At least when it comes to the car itself.

72Cutlass · 04-08-2008, 03:33 PM

no problem guys...to each his own...Dusty nice ride...and well gearheads78, I sure you know your cars nice...lol always loved it since I saw the first pic.

Its all good. When I first put 18"s on my 66 I posted a pic on ROP and pretty much got told it looked like it was right out of the getto by several guys on there. Those wheels are gone waiting for whats next but I liked it for what it was at the time and thats what counts. How boring would it be if we all built the same car.

ddusty1 · 04-08-2008, 04:07 PM

Well, I suppose I have no taste then as well Gearheads78. I think your sled looks killer insane with those wheels in your picture!

You are right too. To each his own. Cheers gents!

Chumley · 04-18-2008, 07:27 PM

I have to say those look good for a custom wheel. Probably about the largest I would want to go. Tires are low enough profile to not throw the car off- balance visually. Personally I've got hooked on SSII Ralleys, but like has been said, it's all about personal preference.

Olds64 · 04-19-2008, 05:35 PM

I was looking in the Summit catalog and found a number of nice wheels. There were also some for a decent price too. Can't go wrong with these (if it fits your car that is).
