Help me pick my wheels
I can't decide which wheels to go with.
Here's a little background info.
My father purchased this 69 chevelle Malibu without a motor or trans, the previous owner was running a 800hp alcohol motor on the strip. He decided to go with an ls2 and 6 speed swap and up and died on me in the middle of everything, i finished the swap. Before he passed, he snagged 4 brand new American Racing wheels 15x7 (front).
I also have 4 corvette rally wheels 15x8 (rear).
I am having trouble deciding which ones to go with. I like the stock sleeper look of the rallies but the American Racing's really pop.
I should add, i am running a 4.11 posi and will probably be selling the car this summer.
I would really appreciate your opinions and photos
Thanks

Unless you are going with a 17 or 18" wheel with big brakes,I would just stick with the old school rally wheels,15" aftermarket wheels with tall tires will just make it look outdated.also if you are going with the rally wheels,look into some of the flat cap styles,they look cooler than the derby style Vette caps IMHO.

I didn't realize it, but this was the reply that hit the heart. It was his build and a very nice one at that. Only right that i stay true to the greatest man I've had the opportunity to know, I wouldn't know how to turn a wrench if it weren't for him. Thanks a lot. I wish you lots of hp and tq.
