Yup! That's the look I want. Definately. I really want the wheels to have the 'smooth barrels' instead of having the drop exposed on the front of the spokes.

That would look great.

What wheels are on the Buick? That car makes my knees go weak. :hail:

I *think* they're from Billet Specialties. I'm sure Jeff will chime in.

Scott is correct, they are Billet Specialties GTX70 wheels, 18X8 and 20X9.5

Jeff, can you send me some info on what you did to put the Corvette calipers on your Buick? I have a disc brake conversion kit and I also have a set of C5 calipers. Can I just change the bracket to allow the C5 calipers to fit on my stock spindles instead of using the single piston floaters that came witht the kit?

I remember walking around Charlotte GG last year and thinking "where did all these cool buicks
come from?!" I don't think I had seen one before then.

I also like the GTX-70 wheels -- I have them on my fairlane:

Those are the ones I got for my '61 bubbletop...but the Boyd's (look exactly the same)

Hey everybody,

Sorry to post yet another 'Help me pick a wheel' thread, but I am really having a hard time picking out the right wheel for the Impala. Any suggestions would be most apprciated. I am most likley going to use an 18 x 8 for the front and a
20 x 10 for the rears. I am open to any and all suggestions so let me know what wheel and model you might recommend!!
Help!!!!! :hail:

...please move to wheel section if you'd like. sorry!!!

Price range? Im lookin into Boss 338's. 20x10's are 230 a wheel and 18x7 are 170. Just my 2 cents:unibrow:
