I dig those wheels!!!

Question for you...does anybody make the 'talladega' front end for these cars? Or is that just a holy grail?

Not that I know of. The front bumper is just a rear bumper so that part is easy to find. Talladegas get sold now and then and aren't really that expensive. If you want that body style just keep your eyes open and one will pop up.

I like those new rims, Rob. I'd stay with a dark shade on them though to match the darker paint scheme.

I guess I'm going to be the one in the minority, but I'm not sold on those wheels for your car. They're a stunning design with a lot of thought and just as much fancy machine work to make all of the rounded shapes. I know the new Grip Equiped line seeks to blend elements of contemporary and vintage design, and that wheel is exactly that. However, for that reason I see it being much more at home on a retro styled late model car, like Karl's Parnelli Jones 302, or something with crazy modifications in the same vein as the Goolsby Mustang or Roadster Shop 'Vette, or a car that seeks more modern influence. I've always thought of your car being as being old school and devoid of attention getting billet in favor of some vintage stock car feel.

Ah hell, what do I know. Besides, it is your car!

I hear what Matt is saying and I can appreciate his point but I disagree. I hate retro wheels on modern cars. Haven't seen one yet that I think "works".

On the other hand, I think the wheel does a nice job of balance old vs new for Rob's "old and new" car... old motor and new chassis (even though most will not know it's there).

Altho that Nascar wheel is just too bad ass.

There.... my worthless opinion is done.
