Wheel change

[Tim]

I had to do something with the old wheels, them being 50 years old they’ve become out of round and not very friendly to drive. Looked at a lot of cars and with the anticipation the car is going black I decided on these. First is before. Rest are after.

Lol, I don’t know what to put on it! Jonny cash emblem?

I'd go with the black wheels, accents the vinyl top...

Gotta agree with Mike!!!!!!

Next year is body fixing and paint it Black. Front suspension needs to be upgraded too and throw those drums away In lieu of Disc.

For those who want to know the wheel/tire sizes They are;
US Mags 18X8 -1 offset front with 245/45R18 Cooper Zion tires
US Mags 18X9.5 -1 offset rear with
275/40R18 Cooper Zion tires.
both front and rear are the same height side by side. There’s plenty of room both front and back with no mods to fit.
Wheel name is Rambler Gloss black U1211

One of the biggest issues I have had my whole life it picking wheels. I can "never" make up my mind no matter how hard I try. So 99 percent of the time, what comes on the car stays. I have been trying to replace the wheels and tires on my impala since 2012. I can never make a decision. Glad you were able to.

I just ripped the bandaid off and did it. One thing that helped was the US mags site has a gallery and most give sizes so you have an idea of fit. There was a Camaro on there that had these in grey. With my car being painted black I thought it would look better once all done. Got the idea from this

I am torn between stock, 60/70's era, and newer stuff. I have come to the conclusion that there is just no hope for me. Seriously, I just cannot make a decision. I would need duplicates of the same car with at least 5 different styles of wheels. And then there are the tires. I would be better off just giving my car to someone and saying do what you think is best. It's that bad.

I liked the rally wheels but they were old and had slight bends. There’s nothing stock about my car anymore so looking stock doesn’t matter.

I would not be insulted. The problem is I like so many different things. One day I want corvette rally's. The next day I want stock 14" wheels with SS hubcaps. Then I want Cragar's or Slot mags. Then I will see a newer style and want that. The only thing consistent is I want something towards deep dish rims no matter what it is. Additionally I have to consider that with most wheel packages I have to change suspension or go to air ride

Do a Jay Leno and get a set of billet 17’s done in a SS stock hubcap setup.
