Wheels

Ok, which set? I have 14x7 steel wheels for the front, and 15x8 for the rears,all painted body color. I like the look of the steels, maybe as a sleeper look, or drag car. Then I have the stock wheels, needing new trim rings and centers. Good for a 20 footer. My minds already made up.....I'm also going to paint the anodized window trim body color. I like the look better. On my 69 Nova, the trim is body color, and the car looks great.

Go with the ralleys. You could paint them red.

Even if you had poverty caps, I think it looks bad

rallyes no trim rings just the center trim 14x7 in front with skinny tires and 15X8 with 275 50 15s out back. i have thought about other wheels but i dont think any will look as good as the set up i have. I love the combo

The door took a hit from a toppled cherry picker.

They both would look good, its up to you to get the look your after. With steel wheels and poverty caps it would give it that granny grocery getter sleeper look.

Ahhh ... nothing wrong with the poverty caps : )



I kinda like the sleeper/stock look. Would you think this is a mid-13 second car at the track ?? : )

Either caps or rallies ... the car is sure to look nice : )

Here's the Olds with the steel wheels.I was going to add dog dish hubcaps,(chevy) to it but have decided against it. Behind the Olds is my 69 Nova with steel wheels and dog dish. I had rally wheels on it but EVERYONE has rally wheels and I wanted a different look. I get more compliments with the steels than the rallys.

I'm running the same caps on my 73! LOVE the dog-dish look.

Had them on my Omega too, until I found another set of Olds DogDish Caps. The set that came with my Omega were so minty, I pulled them off, wrapped them up and stored them. They were in too nice in shape to run'em ....



... but nothing sexier then a stock wheel look ; )
