Wheel selection
Re: Wheel selection I do like the "diffrent" look in a way. And the white maybe ok. But just not that rim. In my opinion they do look cheap. But opinions are like...

Re: Wheel selection Dude,
Those are Simmons custom wheels...certainly not cheap, but a very nice wheel! I agree that the white may be a bit much, but the silver or chrome finishes are VERY nice. I have a set of wheels coming in February from GroupA...ordered before THANKSGIVING! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Not Simmons though... anyway expect them to take a while for custom orders. Good luck!

Re: Wheel selection Well, I think they look sweet as hell.
It's unfortunate but since the import market started making cheap painted rims with the bolts everyone equates them to rice. I think that's why most of the "domestic" crowd here will frown on them a little. However, yours look VERY good and I think they set the car off very well.
Make sure you do the calipers in a complentary color to the wheels. I think if you painted them to match those stripes/stripe on your car it would look bad ***.

Re: Wheel selection I think they look pretty nice/different, you'll have to keep some wheel wipes in the trunk though, the brake dust on those white rims should keep ya busy. Black calipers with white lettering would be a sweet touch. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
Re: Wheel selection actualy it says Z29R. Mecham makes it. Heres you a link http://www.mechamperformance.com/m_docs/z29r.html defininately not a car to make fun of. I believe when mecham made that car they put a 396 in it. Heres a better pic http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/appea...SimmonsZ28.jpg , enjoy.
