Default chevelle wheel help.

looking for some knowledge/opinions here on what to do with my chevelle.

its been just sitting w/ the engine in pieces and it hurts me to look at it.

so im thinking about selling my torq-thrust 2 wheels with the goodrich T/A radials on them for like a 1200 bucks.

and then taking that money and buying some new steel wheels that will fit the OEM hubcaps but are alot wider to give me better handling.

i think it will still look clean as ---- but will leave me with like 600 bucks to finish rebuilding my engine.


what you guys think?

car now.

will these just go on any steel wheel that is the right diameter?

Hell yeah sell the wheels, get what you need to make ---- happen.

You can always save up and get nicer wheels down the road.

You know honestly you will more than likely be able to find a sweet minty set of turd gen Z28 rims for cheap too. Better than steelies and will still look good.

and its a numbers matching all original car, the only thing not stock about it is the radio, front brakes, wheels and paint. so putting the stock wheels on would make more sense.

everything else is completely restored from the year one catalog. which by the way is the wrong ------- company to go through.
so much work to make their fit right. but it looks **** and feels great driving it.
