20 x 10's and 19 x 8's. Schott Americana for a 5-spoke or NewGen Decenio's for a multi spoke. These are the two sets of wheels I'm buying for my 61 bubble top impala and my 62 bel-air post car.

Driverz is the best.

I'm putting a set of 19's and 20's Billet Specialty Legacy's on my 61 flatroof. Almost a shame that I will be covering up the vette brakes. lol

I love all these pics

This is an old thread.

Here are the wheels Matt (SpeedyV10) chose for his Pimpala. I think they are Intro's, but I don't recall the model.

Thanks for posting the pics, Randy!

The wheels that I went with are Intro V-rods. They are 18x8, and 20x10.

Looks like the exact same offset that 61ragtop has in the above pics?

Got a favor to ask, before I pull the trigger on my Billet Specialties, can you supply me with the backspacing you went with? I have been told 5.5 on the back and 4.5 on the front. Just want to make sure.

I would help but I am not positive on the fronts and I have a narrowed rear end so it will be different.

Hi Dennis,

It has been a long long time since I bought my wheels, but I think that you are correct on the back spacing.

Can anybody else chime in just to be sure?

It will also depend on what brakes you use I think too. The guys at intro are very helpful with knowing the right spacing on them. Maybe call them or billet specialties and ask if they know. I know they knew At intro as they have done a few of the full-size chevs.
