Alright now that I am over my Ferrari fetish I am turning my attention full on to my Chevelle. Right now it is fathom blue with a white vinyl top. I have always lusted over black Chevelles with white stripes and a black vinyl top with white interior. Well my buddies are accomodating me and all this will be done within the month.

I am giving one of them the 17 TT and tires off of my car to put on his 69. In turn he is gonna pull my motor. Fix up any leaks and repaint it and bling out the firewall. What rims and tires should I go with. I love the pro touring look and had thought of doing 18 in the front and 20 on the rear but after reading some post alot of you don't think much of 20 on the rear and feel 18's would be the better option. MusclecarJohns car looks great. My car sits pretty low and I hope to bag it in the future. I want some TT with black center with smooth chrome lip but I can only find gray. What other black center option wheels with chrome or polished lip do you all know about?

If I cant find black and have to go with full chrome or polished what would you go with? Chrome means no polish but could rust. I have attached two pics. One of my car and its stance and one of a black car. It may even be a member here. Sick looking car though. Just not fond of the gray SS rims.

Actually I had thought of that but was thinking of the polished ones. Your idea is even better!
