chrome, very nice pick sir congrats! Hey is it possible to fit 10 under these cars with no rub? The consensus is usually 50/50 yes and no votes. backspace and tire size if you say yes sir.

I just pulled the trigger and I ordered new shoes for Lucy from Summit Racing. They should be here mid-week ~ May 1st.

I followed Indyman Joe's advice - 15x7 in front and 15 x 8 in the rear. 4 inch backspacing.

The winner is:

 

Chromed Rally IIs from Wheel Vintques....no more trim rings to screw around with.

Gonna be killer buddy! JustA about any 5 spoke dresses a car better than other wheels. Those are a great choice.

Thanks I’m sure it will go well with the rest of Lucy’s new bling!

Good choice...Hard to go wrong with a Pontiac rally wheel.....

Good news! Two of the four new wheels showed up on Saturday. I got to open them yesterday!!!! These are the rears - 15"x8". The others were coming from Georgia and should be here mid-week.

Joe - don't panic me like that again dude!!!!! 

No unboxing video? I hear they're all the rage on the interwebs.

Nice though! Congrats!

Careful what you wish for Ringo. Cecil B. DeMille I'm not, but that doesn't mean I can't slop something together.

Thanks!

Nice purchase! Congrats! What tires brand and model will they wear?  

Edited April 29, 20197 yr by PontiacFanatic

Thanks. Right now I am thinking that the tires will be B F Goodrich T A radials. The fronts will probably be 255R16x15, the rears 275R60x15.

I have no experience on that particular brand/model, so I cannot give to you a proper feedback unfortunately. However, I am a Bridgestone passionate, because I like tyres that have tough sides being really reactive and direct, albeit other like Michelin. How are these BF Goodrich? Did you just have them on one of your rides?

I was just as panic stricken LOL Damn they real good!

They sure do. I get the fronts mid-week. I won't be able to get them mounted until around Mother's Day weekend since this weekend is shot moving the kid home from college for the summer.

It would appear somebody is having Christmas year around! Open a box here open a box there! I’m thinking the Grinch didn’t steal Christmas!! Cuz you had all the gifts!

Nice. Nah, being Frosty seems to mean we hold onto the Christmas season, including snow, longer than we should. So if that means more Christmas presents for me, I ain't complaining!!!

Roger that. I've already been to Kansas.

Definitely #2 Wheel Vintiques !

The first front wheel - 15x7 showed up yesterday. It came out of Georgia. The final front wheel is coming out of Texas from some reason. I just checked the tracking number, it should be delivered today.

All of us waiting for Frosty's amazing wheels to get on Lucy.

I see the resemblance! Especially the hat! 😂

All four wheels are now here. It will be next weekend (Mother's Day weekend) before I can get new rubber mounted to them.

I have to move the kid home from college for the summer tomorrow.

Ahh, the days of moving the kid in & out of college! I remember them well! I feel very sorry for you 😔! Well at least you new toys to play with next week!😁

This is true. Now if I can just get a warm weekend with no rain so I can go out and play and work on Lucy, I'd be very, very happy!

Walking on my lawn right now is like walking on a saturated sponge.

Lucy's new shoes are in the house!!!! I plan to get them on her this weekend unless the monsoon starts again....
