First welcome, nice ride. Second here is my first official response. Check out them wheels Are those DOT approved? What sizes do they come in, and what offset? Those wheels are cool as .... I would almost have to at least drive it around the block once with those

 

[Tomy2tone01]

You go first. I built them because I have no idea what size the wheels will be. I saw the concept on one of those shows on the tube.

I decided not to paint the trim stripe on the side. I am installing the trim, the black will show through. I have a friend in Mpls I purchased my trim from He has the largest selection on NOS stuff in the country for all impalas.

Welcome. Love the 61's almost as much as 63! I was gonna make fun of your wheels too but I assumed you were mocking up dimensions. You will love it here at the asylum. Lots of knowledge and even more shall we say "quirky" personalities to get to know.

Hey, I think the wheels are cool. They do what they were designed for. Rollers.........

Welcome to the site, I"ll bet your really could burn those wheel"s !!!!

 

[Tomy2tone01]

my buddy said put some nails in the tread and burn em at night......

 

[blkblk63ss]

Those probably be real good in the snow,leave the nail"s stick out a little and you would have something like studded snow tire"s.
