Choice of wheels

abodyjoe said
don't like big wheels then don't buy them. personally i like the look of 17-8" wheels on our old cars. depending on the build even bigger looks good but they have to go with the build.. nothing is worse looking then a tiny 14" rim/tire on these cars. they just look out of place being so small. even a 15" on a b body is too tine looking.

i'm at the point that i can't stand rally wheels.. too tiny and ugly in my opinion. too balloonish of sidewalls... looking at the older pics of my car i can't believe i ever even put the damn things on the car to begin with. car looks a thousand times better with the 17" wheels. if i knew better at the time i'd have gone with 18" wheels and tires..

I think the old rust bucket looked good either way. What's different with you is, you actually have GOOD TASTE and know how to choose a wheel and tire combo that compliments the car. A lot of people do not. I must admit in your case, I actually think I like the bigger wheels better........but that's pretty rare with me.

But you're right as rain. "Whatever" wheel you choose, it needs to fit the style of the car.
