Working on geting the rims matching the car, what do you thank so far?

Interesting idea and a good way to make use of those old turbine wheels. It's also a good way to avoid all the not-fun work on the front end huh?

yep. pain in the ****, but looks nice when done.

Not realy, waiting for the glass underneth (sp) to cure.

Matched western rims looks good. When I was a young boy my dad had red color matched rims on his 69 vert. Brings back memories.

Creative, but will pass judgement until job is complete. BTW - Have you thought about putting the same "model" tires on one side so the letters match on the front & back (assuming they're the same sizes)?

looks like you are doing a nice job But I'm not crazy about color matched wheels. I would stay w/gray, silver or black & the polished spokes.

I like them!
A real retro look.

Yeah man, that's nice. I was thinking about pinted wheels the other day. I saw an ad and you can barely see the wheel but you can tell that the center of the rally wheel was painted to match the car. I was wondering if anyone had done that. Now I see you are in the process! Be sure to post some pics when you are done.

Those don't look that bad. You got that car for under $2K?

Terry, JMO. but a little too much red.

Durango_Boy

I'm going to finish the rims in Black. With some Red

$2900 is what I payed for it. And it is very solid

Are those rims western brand?? What size are they?? 15x8??? Does anyone know where I could get a set that was in relatively good condtion?? Thanks.

I'd save my money if I was you and but a complete Vette. Your last '68 and this one aren't doing it for me.

Good Luck.

With disc brake powder those rims are gonna be a PIA to keep clean.
