FINALLY! Got my Centerline wheels.....
 
For those who thought it was a bad choice? I turned out exactly how I wanted it to look. Nostalgic look with a modern twist. I love it!

They do look sweet! what are the sizes, wheels & tires?

69silverbird 01-05-2010 09:02 PM

Good eye. That is sharp :thumbsup:

Vegas69 01-05-2010 09:54 PM

Those look perfect.....I don't think anybody doubted your choice of wheel, it was your choice of wheel manufacturers.

street3285 01-06-2010 08:25 AM

Great choice, it looks really good.

gearheads78 01-06-2010 04:13 PM

Looks great!!

mxjunkie 01-06-2010 06:07 PM

I'll get some better pics if it stops raining for a minute. :mad:
The wheels are 20x9.5, changed BS from 4.5 to 5.25 to fit. Tires are 255/35/20
Fronts are 18x8.5 with a 5" BS, if I remember correctly. Tires 235/40/18.
And yes, it's bagged.
I just wanted the look for this year. Sometime in the future I'll do it right.
Custom suspension, 4wdb, 383 stroker, trans, ford 9", ect, ect, ect, ect....

Have you thought about doing a title search through Oregon DMV on your car? My dad bought a brand new one of these in 62... (we lived in Portland, I was born and raised there)... Same color - SS - Wouldn't it be funny if this was the same car all these years later? I think he bought his at Lyman Slack Chevrolet that used to be down on Sandy Blvd...

Car Looks fabulous!

Musclerodz 01-08-2010 12:17 AM

bad ass car, love the wheel choice

tones2SS 01-08-2010 01:33 PM

VERY NICE! Sharp looking car.:thumbsup:

This was bought at Grant Chevrolet in Portland. And it's not an SS.

You nailed the wheels & more importanly the off sets! .....
I still see alot of custom wheels where it looks like the wheels need to be tucked in another inch or so,nice job :thumbsup: looks bitchin.

89 RS 01-09-2010 11:06 PM

Nailed it! That thing looks awesome.

T-Type 01-10-2010 02:29 AM

beautiful car. sits perfectly. :thumbsup: if and when you get a chance would u be able to post up some shots of the trunk and underneath....thanks.

MarkM66 01-10-2010 07:58 AM

So do your wheels have that huge "Centerline" on the spoke like this?

Your car looks awesome. :thumbsup:
With all the headaches you encountered, I'm glad you stuck with it. Those wheels fit the look of your car perfectly.

Underneath is stock and ugly, and trunk just looks like a stock trunk. The air tank is on the passenger side tucked up next to the quarter panel in the trunk.

That does kinda suck. Centerline found away to mess up their only good wheel design. :(

Like it being on the center cap wasn't enough. :rolleyes:

It looks like a protour car, but handles and drives like a boat. Someday I want to do a 383, nice trans, 9", disk on all four, ect, ect, ect. But that's wayyyyy down the road.

Worth the wait! (?)
 
It looks like the wheels were worth the wait! The car looks awesome! I'm wondering about your opinion on the finish quality of the wheels? As I've stated before, some of the CL wheels I've seen in the local store had a lousy finish. But if they continued to produce the bad quality they would have been out of business by now, right?

The car looks just killer! It looks like the hassel and waiting was worth it. Really nice look you have going there.
You mentioned the future upgrades for the drivetrain,suspension and brakes...any idea what you will do first? And what kind of time line until you get going on that stuff?
I ask so I can keep track of it and watch the build. I really like that car!:thumbsup:

NOT A TA 01-12-2010 08:01 PM

The car looks great! Nice wheel choice, worth the wait.

dmc69 01-13-2010 10:19 PM

Car looks great!:thumbsup:

The finish is actually pretty nice.
