I find it really sad how little of a selection there is for wheels for Chevelles these days. Now everything is reverse wheels for the small Japanese cars and nothing for the old Muscle cars. I went up on www.tirerack.com (http://www.tirerack.com) (very large selection) and they said they had nothing in a deep dish with 5.5BS. What happened to the deep dish look? In my opinion, the reverse wheels on Chevelles just look goofy and stock SS wheels just don't do it for me. Anyway, just thought I would express my sadness in the search for wheels.

Where/how did you do that cool dash and steering column/wheel? Is that an airbag? In a chevelle? Too cool.

I assume that the picture of you with the ATAP is from inside your 70.

Check this site. I have the 211 series rims, similar to the AR TTII rims.

Sadly, considering how many new imports are being built each day and how many old Chevelles are already being updated or crushed, it's a matter of economics.

Cragar is now making the S/S wheel in larger sizes now, 16", 17" I think. ARE reintroduced the 200S in a 17" design (my choice), and there's the current ARE TTII that almost everybody has if they don't have Rallys. Billet Specialties, Colorado Custom, and Eagle all make a variety of wheels; albeit some a bit expensive for drivers. Weld used to have a ton of selections but they've reduced their product line drastically in the last year or so.

I searched high, I searched low...Bottom line, sooner, rather than later there is going to be even less of a choice than what we have now.

thanks for the suggestions.

BAD,

Try Halibrands.... They still look way cool and are not quite the same look as Cragars or ARE's persent.

Nobody had mentioned centerline yet, they have a decent selection of mags with a lot of backspacing. Some you can only get with 5" not 5.5" though, but there are some with 5.5" as well.
