This site is completely free and there are no costs. Please enjoy and provide feedback.I do too but, I’ve had that look for about 10 years now and I think I want to change.I like the wheels in the second picture.
I already have the slotted rims.I know they're common, but I love cragars or TT2's.
Yes they are.Are they Ansen?
My son has them on his 66 Nova.I like the Firestone WL Tires but would think 15" woul;d Ride better
I had 14" Cragar SSTs Wheels / Tires on my 67 when I first bought the Car
Did not like the Ride from them
so bought some 15" Cragar SS Wheels and drove with them for awhile since the Side Wall was Wider but they were UNIs
Now have these Weld Look A Likes from JEGs https://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/JEGS-Sport-Star-Cast-Aluminum-Wheels/1231935/10002/-1
1 Piece A-356 aluminum alloy / so they are Light and Thick in the Center // you will need Longer than Stock Wheel Studs thought

I like the black wall also but, I also like the look of the "Wide 0 Oval" lettering.I"m not a rallye wheel or raised white letter guy, bought a few cars that had them on them and they were the first thing to go. I know you have the slotted wheels already but your car would look so much better with either a Cragar SS wheel or even the style I have on my car. If I had your car I would lower it down put a set of Cragar SS wheels or something like I have on my car with black wall tires. If you decided to use what you have I would paint your rally's wheels silver gray like they normally are. That would make a big difference
too against the black body.
I like the look of the billet specialties wheels on a Chevelle, I have a set currently on my junk but the narrow billet specialties (4") will leak air past the valve stems if you use the nhra required steel valve stems. The holes are drilled on the radius of the wheel. I sent 3 sets back and asked them to correct this anomoly but I doubt they did.I"m not a rallye wheel or raised white letter guy, bought a few cars that had them on them and they were the first thing to go.

Also on a Chevelle, the old American Racing TTO mags look awesome and are timeless in appearance.
