Talking Show me your fullsize wheels!!!!!!!

Come one Come all!!!!

Show me your 65-70 Full Size wheels.

I am interested in installing the Scarebird front disk brake setup. Unfortunately with this setup the factory wheels need to go.

I can install 1971 or later steel or aftermarket wheels to clear the calipers but am terrible coming up with ideas for wheels. If you have some pictures of these full size cars with aftermarket wheels it would be most appreciated.

Prob not what you are looking for but a chance to see a creation (low budget) from the mid 70's!

Here's my Delmont wearing vintage 15" Motor Wheel Spyders. Spyders were produced from the late 60's through the early 70's.

Smart man, bigger brakes = better performance for your investment on today's roads.
Hard to compete with modern braking systems in an emergency stop.

I have Foose Legends. They're VERY nice, ZERO maintenance, and are VERY cheap right now.

17"x8" up front and 18" x 9.5" in the rear

A guy who is known for putting disc brake systems together.

Also check out Kore3 and Ed Miller.
Tobin @ Kore3 is a bigger brake GENIUS and he has outstanding support.
I highly recommend the C5 Z06 brake kits for the fronts.

Thanks.

I dig yours also, you don't see many cool looking 4 door Cutlasses.
I think yours really looks pretty sweet.

I had those Outlaws on my Camaro when I bought it in 1995.
