What do you guys think of these type of billet wheels on a Chevelle. I have searched the net far and wide but cant find a pic of a car with these on it. I know you guys will be honest, I was thinking about them on my 72 but scared bacause I have never seen them on a chevelle before.

Ya I am thinking about pulling the trigger. There is a pic of my car in the Whats is worth section under the "what are these wheels worth" topic if anyone wants to see what I am thinking about putting them on.

I dont like to be like everyone else and I think the wheels could make my car stand out....good or bad either way it will get noticed.

Honestly I think they look a little dated. But thats just my opinion.

at $150 per wheel, I'd want something a little less 80's

But if you like them, it's your car and they are just wheels and can be changed later on if you change your mind :thumbsup:

Hey Pally! I knew to the site but I'm an old skooler haven't had a chance to post any of my rides yet (still in winter storage up here in the great white north). But it's our ride man and if you think it looks kool then it's kool. And any real kar guy will respect that. These are great guys here and their telling you the same thing.Be strong and free my brother!!!

It not a bad deal since they come with tires. but they are old tires.

maybe someone can photoshop them on your car?

Personal opinion I am not a fan of directional type wheels they have there place in history but if you like that certain place in history go for it if the price is right for you.

Thats what I was looking for, some honest opinions. After lookin at them I just couldnt see them on my car, so I will continue looking around. I would really just like to find a set of cragar ss or torq thrusts in my budget

Smart move,those would not compliment your car in any way and would probably be hard to off when the time came so a no-win in my book.

Keep looking,TT II's will pop up sooner than you think...:yes:

Terrible. Very redneck 80s camaro-ish look to them, which I think is garbage but some people might like. When you ask for opinions that is all you will get but ultimately it is of course up to you.

Good choice...walk AWAY from the 80s wheels. :D:D

I'll bet that you'll get a few replies if you post a WTB ad in the classified section for an older set of 15" Cragar or TT Wheels.

OK - Try this again...

Is this the look you're going for?

5 minute Photoshop but it might give you an idea of how it'd look anyway.
