Couple New Chevelle Pics....New Wheels Reply #5 – October 16, 2008, 05:29:58 PM Looks good:D . I still like the old stock wheels that came on the '70 SS cars from the factory. Then again I'm probably one of the few crazy people who like factory wheels better than after market ones. Quote Selected

At least on stuff from that era I'm the same way. They looked really good. And big wheels just dont go very well. 17's? .....mmm.....okay. Not bad. Anything bigger and it just looks stupid. Not knockin your dad's taste or anything cougrrr just my own personal preference, they had meaty tires and small wheels so it looks "different" lol :hick: But they are very good looking wheels nonetheless. I like the design. That thing is beautiful, the color combo is awesome. Gotta love the 396 too, got some reaaaaal GRUNT. Someday I MUST have a '68-'72 GM A-body, I'm just drawn to them I guess. It's my favorite muscle car, I think the look is just perfect IMHO. Quote Selected
Couple New Chevelle Pics....New Wheels Reply #7 – October 16, 2008, 11:35:18 PM Dont get my wrong, I love the SS Rallyes. My Dad and I actually still plan on repainting them and slapping them on. The deal was, he bought this car in 1988, 2 months after I was born and the tires on the SS Rallyes at this very moment are the same that were on it when he bought it. He decided since he was buying tires, that we wanted something alittle bigger and alittle nicer, he searched for two years. He saw these and they are kinda like a newer age version of the Rallyes and he loved that. He wants it to look stock, but then again different, kinda like how Vinnie approaches Phoenix. He wants to put SLP exhaust on it in place of the 32" glasspacks, and he wants new fenders, quarters and paint. I will do all body work on this car because that is my profession, and he wants the vinyl top removed which I am completely against. Some look good without it, but it looks so good on this car.

Couple New Chevelle Pics....New Wheels Reply #11 – October 18, 2008, 07:15:06 PM My Uncle had a 72 Chevelle SS which he swapped over his vette rallyes and the 327 out of his 65 Vette. That Chevelle was amazing! He rebuilt the motor completely and from the Marina he owns which is a mile away from the dam you could hear that thing driving on the dam, it was Competition or Hugger Orange with White Stripes.
