I know it will be quite a while before I need wheels for my 67 build, but I saw wooftfd 's photo of his 64 with hub caps and it just struck me right. So, I'm dreaming of the future wheels for my Tyrol Blue 67 build with white pin stripes and got to looking at old school photos of very plain wheels with the small hub caps. Here's some examples on 67's...
I really like the all black wheels with all black wall tires. My car should end up with the widest rear tires possible with some good meat up front. The rake will be slightly higher in the rear with a slightly higher than stock stance all the way around. I'm thinking of an old school hopped up, on a budget, look. Even though we all know the budget for these cars in not "low".
Anybody out there know their hub caps and where to start my research?
Ideally, I would like the plainest of steel wheels that can be found as wide as will fit in the rear and moderate width for the front. Here's the hard ask...do any of these wheel options have a positive fit hub cap option? Meaning, they screw on or otherwise rather than the tradition pop on. I'd hate to spend the coin and time restoring some old hub caps to have them spin off during a hard throttle and end up in the ditch.
I'm not set on true Pontiac wheels and caps, just looking for options that somewhat resemble the photos. I am open to 15" and 16" rims. They kinda give the car a sleeper-old-man-car look which does resemble me and will, more so, by the time I get the build done...lol.
PS: Thanks to the owners of these photos that I borrowed from the net. They are truly awesome cars!
