Wheel and Side profile Gallery

Well like a lot of people I am hunting for a set of wheels for my 73. It is hard to visualize what they would look like on my car. I was thinking that maybe what we could do in this thread is have people post the side profile of their cars with the make and model and size of the wheel and tire combos. I think that this would be a great resoarce for people as I have seen this asked a lot. Would be a great help to me.

Great idea. It's weird how it is so hard to visualize different wheels on your car.

Sweet ride! Do the 8" rims on the front work with inner fenders in? Any tire rubbing anywhere? That is a nice look!
