slickman 11th-November-2006, 10:27 AM I have been a member of the forum for about two weeks and love to read all the posts. I just wanted to share the new look of my baby with the wheels and tires. Gives it an entire new look. SS 15x7's with 4 1/2 BS all around with 235/60-15's up front and 255/60-15's out back..

taz3 11th-November-2006, 11:40 AM That looks perfect gives the car a much nicer stance and not far from stock.
Good choice Paul:D

Zach 11th-November-2006, 05:26 PM Wow, I really like those wheels. Looks great. Where did you buy them by the way incase *cough* someone *cough* wanted to get some for his nova also?
slickman 11th-November-2006, 06:20 PM Got them from Summit, not a bad deal.. The Trim rings I got off ebay, their stainless Steel that's chrome plated.

1Bad'66 11th-November-2006, 06:33 PM Wow! What a nice car! Your ride is really sweet. I like it!
G_2 11th-November-2006, 07:04 PM Man that looks good! The SS wheels really finish the look of the car off.
john_L. 11th-November-2006, 07:51 PM Very very nice !!:eek: .....may I ask if you have 'regular shocks' in the rear?
68chevyll 11th-November-2006, 08:00 PM That car is very nice.
RatNova71 11th-November-2006, 08:05 PM BIG improvement, looks real nice! :D :cool:
slickman 11th-November-2006, 09:52 PM Yup, she has Monroe Maxi Air shocks. There is only about 40 lbs of air in them and it rides nice too. I only add some air to give it a little more clearance and a nice rake to it...
Very very nice !!:eek: .....may I ask if you have 'regular shocks' in the rear?
john_L. 11th-November-2006, 10:28 PM Zach.....why would you want to change your wheels, those look tough too!
SS Bob 11th-November-2006, 11:49 PM MUCH nicer with the SS wheels:chev:
FunkyNova66 12th-November-2006, 06:50 AM Looks great! Awesome choice in wheels. :D :beer:
PowerMax 12th-November-2006, 08:09 AM Looks great! I thought I had read somewhere that BFG had discontinued the Radial T/A's. Apparently that is not true? I have Radial T/A's on both my Nova's. Any rubbing issues with tire sizes you chose?
Jeff
1974 nova 12th-November-2006, 06:45 PM nice and clean good job
zwolnova 12th-November-2006, 09:47 PM Looks Slick Man:D :D :D Good investment I'd say.
yllib1961 12th-November-2006, 10:10 PM The T/A's look great!! Are you looking to sell the Rallys? If so, let me know. Beautiful car.....Good Luck!
slickman 13th-November-2006, 05:12 PM No rubbing at all.. Maybe just a little at a right or left hand turn at a full lock. But, thats it.. I can lve with that..;)

Racinfan83 13th-November-2006, 05:35 PM Slick......Man! Looks much better. I may go with the 15" ones on the front of mine someday. Looks like you have a little more clearance on the back fenders with the 7" rims than I do with the 8's. Oh well, live and learn........
slickman 14th-November-2006, 09:56 PM You were a big help to me in selecting the wheels I have. I wanted the SS wheels but was unsure of which ones. When I saw you're ride and how great it looked, I knew I was on the track to perfection.
Thanks Man!!

Just so ya know......There were no factory 15" SS rims like these - only 14". I looked all over the place before I figured that out......
The 15" come from Wheel Vintiques....
