i like the rally and speedstar. that chevelle has a big body so i think it would look good with some WIDE wheels in the back. have you thought about 19's in the rear and 18's in the front?

ProjectT, I'm sticking with 18s. Tires get too thin with larger sized wheels, and I'm not a fan of using different front and rear sized wheels unless the tire diameter is also different (ala C6).
Arachnotron, picked this car up last week. Found it on craigslist, couldn't pass it up.

I like the TT2's + black centers/spokes.
I'd go as wide as you can without cutting the car
All chrome is nice but I think a lot of folks have been there, done that.
Maybe you should start a poll with three photoshopped choices.

I'm a HUGE fan of the TT2 classics in the gray and black, but you already have them on the 69 so I'd go something different. I think the Intro Rally's would look sweet with some big brakes to back them up and I have to agree with Roadhouse, the Foose Nitrous II's would look pretty sick for a retro setup.

if your going the TT2 route then i think the gray looks better. i think it gives the car some individualality as well instead of the usual all chrome or polished TT2. the gray centers looks better then the black IMO, but then you own 2 cars with the same paint/wheels and i dont know how you feel about that.
i know i have them, but i think black wheels are gettin played out...unless its really a unique looking setup.

that would look
315's will take alil work to fit, but will look pimp from the rear with that wide body..

yes!!! john(owner of the chevelle that being qouted) has a sick *** line up of cars. he just put 20s on the rear also.i say those are the best wheels to keep the classic look to it, im prolly gonna get them for my 2nd gen since i cant afford boze or simmons wheels.
