    I love those wheels. Best looking stock wheels ever made in my opinion. I also ran them on my 77. When I sold the 77, I kept the wheels and ran them on my Comet GT until I dismantled it. I still have them and will reuse them on something.

    you dont have rings on yours, do you? Do you know if anyone sells this rim in a 8" or 9" i think it would be cool to have a staggered lip on the back. I wonder what it would cost to have them streched?

    The chromed ones are after market from Coker tire. They are 15x7's and 15x8's. You can get 15" trim rings but I elected not to. Another member on this board had a set of stock 14" that someone had widened to 8". They were too wide for the front so I traded two 6" for 2 of his 8's. So yes, they can be widened, but I dont know how much it costs.

    You really like those better than the aluminum slots? Gotta love the slots. Summit sells a 15" and 17" version thats polished out, when my tires wear out I'll probably replace my 14" w/ them.

    Don't have a pic on this comp but my sig has my website. Its pretty crappy but the pics are there.

    I love wheels that cover lug nuts. Its a much cleaner and smoother look. Lug nuts look like crap, rust, and are a pain to clean around.
