Vintage 48's ($120ish each) from Summit 15x7 all the way around, 225's up front 235's in back. I bought them three weeks ago, they were shipped to my door step in two days.

That looks cool Musnicki. What did you do with the body color wheels. I like those too.

Right now they're on someone's 66 green / black stripe fastback. I liked them too but they wouldn't fit over my disc brake calipers.

Ok i found some cragar ss rims but they are 14s and didnt know if they would look good since that seems kind of small to me. They are cheap though and look decent i would have to get them rechromed but the price is $150.

I think I would pass on the 14 inchers. If they have to be rechromed, I wouldn't pay more than 50 bucks for them.

Does your car have factory drum brakes, or has it been upgraded to disc. If it has Granada disc most of the 14 inch wheels won't fit.

They are still drum brakes for now. Would 14 inch rims look decent for some reason i keep thinking they would be too small but i think its whats on there now but i cant remember right now. A guy near me has some magnum 500s from a rancharo that he just pulled to his yard and wants 250 for them which doesn't seem too bad and i could just switch the tires from the 14s i have now.

The 14s would look fine. I would see if he will go down a little.
