Good change, the new rims look good, not that the old ones look bad just that I'm not big on black rims.

Not too shabby!!! I think your car looks alot better! It stands out more.(IMO). All we need is to lower it a bit. What tires did you end up getting?

thanks! I agree about lowering it, hopefully on of my next projects, also thinkin about orange stripes but not sure. the tires are the nitto 555 and the wheels are 17x9 all around. the grill is from afterthoughts auto and I got the 69 ss emblem from classic industries and used jb weld to mount it. thanks again for the comments

Both wheels look sick. The cragars give it an old school look. I wish they would make that wheel with a 3 in lip. I think if you painted the roof panel white, hugger berger stipes would look sick as hell with some old school emblems

There is actually a good bit of difference in the spoke design. You' d really need to see them in a side by side comparison.
