Hey Jasen,

I was going to go with these on Project DZ74: Vintage Wheel Works V48 in 17's for the vintage Trans Am racing look, but chickened out and am gonna stick with the American Racing 200S wheels. I had the 200S wheels on it back in the day in 15's, but we're updating them to 17's now.

The wheels that Gary posted dont look to bad.

But can we have a pic of the car or one like it. That might help.

Also i would do 17x9.5 in the back no matter what rim it was if it was me.

[WMCCjames]

You should be able to find some cast wheels in your price range.....I would do a 8,10 combo.....17x8 front and 17x10's rear. I would be awesome if you could budget enough to get into an 18 inch wheel.

You could do something sweet like this!!!!

This is probably the last good picture I have of it when it was together.



I'd love to stay around $1k for both wheels and tires but I realize I may have to go with something cheap for a year or two until I can afford to upgrade because the majority of my money is going into everything mechanical just to get this thing on the road period. The problem is I have no wheels for this, other than some rollers it sits on, but nothing I would run and they don't match anyway.

My thought is by the time I get the mechanicals all set I won't be able to afford paint and wheels and it needs both. However, since I can just throw some cheap paint on it anyway I might as well do the wheels right. However I realize that as plans change that may have to be sacrificed for what I can afford also.
