well, jimbo, if you are serious about getting some wheels for your car i could put you in contact with some people i know in a couple of days when i get back home, they really know GM factory style wheels / lots of other good contacts in new jersy / pa.... i would say a set of craiger SS mags for your car would be sweet, or torq - thrusts. let me know, and i can ask around for ya, only if you are serious, though.

well the pops said i can either refurbish the rims or get new ones im leaning toward just refurbishing since i saw the coolest monte the other day it was an 87 ss white and the red pin striping turned into a heart beat and it had t-tops but the rims looked brand new but they were stock and they were beautiful

Since you have a classic car, I'd keep 'em stock and get them refinished. No question about it.

the factory ss wheel is nice when theyre new. if your going to have them reconditioned you should see if they can stretch them to 15x8 that way you can put a decently wide tire on them.
