Wheels for 70 Chevelle SS I enjoy shopping for wheels too much. Here are some that I've rounded down to for the '70 SS 454, trying to stick with a retro theme in 18" sizing.
Intro Wheels "Rally"
Intro Wheels "Speedstar"
Speedstar with custom paint (my photoshop):
I've also considered ordering another set of 18" TT2 Classics like I have on my orange '69 Camaro. Just love the classic look!
Any other ideas or opinions?

I think they would make it look like a ghetto cruiser. Anything bigger than 15" rims on an old car dont cut it....rarely 16's look ok. Those you had pictured would look good with a lift kit and some nice gold trim, purple velour seats and a boom boom system. Even that camaro looks retarded with those big rims. They just wernt meant to be.
nine ball, if your arent a member od teamchevelle.com or pro-touring.com you should stop by. There are lots of pics to be seen of wheel/tire combo's.
If you really want retro wheels keep the ones you have but get them in 18's. http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/wheel...ubcat3=1031106
Here is some more choices for you. There is also a file towards the bottom of the page in an excel file. Definitley check it out. http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167477
Hope this help a little.

I'm a moderator over on www.Pro-Touring.com 
The same has also been said about putting an LSX into an older car. The wheels I posted are far from "ghetto". I'm sorry your taste just sucks, you should work on that.

Nothin better an a 70 SS 454!
My 2 cents is go with the Speedstar with custom paint (black) ...it'll
look similar to the original wheels but with 18" of MEAT !
Nice cars Nine Ball - defenately NOT GHETTO

^^^^those are 18's. The owner just recently bought some 20's for the rear. Looks very nice. He definitley has one of the nicest chevelles on team chevelle.
Nine Ball -- Would I be correct to assume that you are turning this into a PT car?

radz, I probably won't go as crazy on the suspension in the Chevelle. Probably some lowering springs and wheels. Stuff that is easily reversible, I'll put the stockers in storage when I feel like rolling around stock. The '67 Camaro will be the most modified, then the '69 later.
I've asked Intro about getting the Speedstars above in all-satin centers without the pockets milled in the spokes. It would give off the same visual effect of the TT2 Classics, but be more unique.
