Hey all,
I haven't been too active here at all. I posted one other pic of my car the day after I met the 'sites owner at CarCraft in St. Paul in '08. In that intro pic the car was on a flatbed and all uglified from a garage fire (smoke damage only... Whew!)
Here is the current state:
I have an deal pending on these wheels and the steering wheel so I am browsing replacements.
I am of a mind to get back into 5 spoke wheels and a traditional 3 spoke steering wheel, Anybody want to suggest something that will bring back some retro nostalgia but still have that technical appearance? Right now I am thinking of a Next generation Cragar SS style, concealed lugnuts may be a plus (easier to polish).
There is a thread on here or Team Camaro with lots of wheel/tire combos listed with pics. I was lost in there awhile. I saw a Camaro in a picture showing really nice big 5 spokes that had virtually no contour in the rim bead/lip are that looked great. No idea who makes them though.
I am open to ideas, quality and strength are important. Something that isn't out of this world expensive would be a blessing but in this game thats usually not where our tastes reside now is it?
Please chime in on sizes too, 17 x ? will be the minimum. I will need to fit an uncut cars clearances.
PS. These Weld Wheels are VR14 Flames in 16x8 BS forgotten, 3.5 maybe. Tires are Bridgestone P245/45ZR16 all around. Setup purchased in '96
Steering Wheel is a Colorado Customs Firestone.
