wheel and tire pics!!!
I'm looking suggestions on best places to look for wheels and tires for my 66. converted to disc brakes so factory wheels are going away. I have 6x5.5 pattern. I like the vintage and rally look. I'm thinking 17x8. Would love to see some pics of different sizes and styles. Thanks for the help!!!

Re: wheel and tire pics!!!

Re: wheel and tire pics!!!
If you're staying with the 6x 5.5" lug pattern the best bet is either a corvette style rally or some type of smoothie wheels, both with hub caps. I love the torque thrust look wheels in 5 lug but I don't like the 6 lug version. I wish the 6 lug truck rallies were available in 17". That would be too cool.

Re: wheel and tire pics!!!
Those type of wheels look awesome! Then again I'm a little biased, and I went for big wheels...

Re: wheel and tire pics!!!
I was up in Reno this weekend ( big bowling event ), and I went by summit racing and I saw these wheels and liked them more then the others. They acually look better in person. I would probably paint the centers a darker gray but that was about it.
