Ok guys, the rims on my Chevelle came with the car when I bought it 3 years ago and Ive never liked them. So Im thinking of buying some new ones. So here's the selection Im choosing from. Im not a low rider guy or a guy that likes these huge rims. I may be young but I like old school looks, less is more and simple is better. So here are the rims and here are pics of other Chevelles with these rims on them. I will be getting 15's or 16's x 7's in the front and x10's in the back, let me know what you think.

I want to thank the guys for posting the pics of there Chevelles so that I might get an Idea of what mine might look like. Please let me know what you guys think.

I like the AR Aluminum five spoke. It looks like an updated version of the classic Cragar SS. Plus less weight and no rust or peeling with the Aluminum.

I'd go with the Rocket wheels. I have not seen many of those>>>something different other then AR rims. Plus, reading some of the issues with those lately.....I wouldn't buy them. If you decide on a set of 16's, you might as well go with 17's instead. More tires sizes to choose from, not many choices left out there for 16's.

I agree alllll of those wheels not rims are just way over used!
With all the styles availble out there now theres way to many to settle for those just imagine going to a street rod show with 6,000 cars there proably 20 % of them have torque thrusts on them thats a reality, wheel styles should match the theme of the car.
Check out the new billet specialties street lights amamzing wheel all billet not cast or chrome true polished wheel and summit has them on sale 20% off now too.

Yes there are a lot of choices out there however they are not the sizes im looking for. I hate huge wheels and will not use them. And i am build a 69 Chevelle with the best of the 70's on it. Cowl hood, cowl induction emblem, 70 hood pins, 454, black with 2 blood red stripes. Nothing larger then 16's im sick and tired of seeing muscle cars with freaking huge RIMS.

Yes but my friend above was talking about having a different wheel then what everyone else has. And the majority of people have American Racng wheels. As well as Ive been hearing a lot of bad things about there work as of late.
