Need some wheels for a 66 caddy.

Found classic whitewalls for 2400 on wires.

But still debating and for repros that seems a bit high.

maybe 22's or classics.

This is a budget resto.

Thoughts plz

I'd go with some Sombreros with a 3" whitewall. Even though the 66' was a few years late on the large whitewalls, the ones I have done look amazing and the new owner's usually end up keeping it that way.

If you're looking for something more new age, you can try a 20"-22", 100 spoke Dayton knock off in all black. They look great and give the car a real gangster look.

and yes, $2,400 is way too much for those wires....

they were tires included. But they came from hobbycar.com if i remember.

i thought it seemed a bit steep taking that a decent set of 22's and tires are about the same now. any links would help!

that seems pretty high. we got NOS factory chrome wheels for a buick wildcat for $150... just got to hit up some trade shows for the best stuff. that way you can see the condition

im kinda torn on the style.

I think Im leaning towards the classic large white walls.

never ever doubted you!!

what size are you rolling on that? they have 3 rims sizes and like 20 tires... youre gonna have to shoot me some specs soon.

didnt i see a pic of one of these on like some 22's or something?

 

[silversurfer]

yeah, my Hebrogh on dub deuces -

i think the white walls I'm rocking are the 3 1/2"

 

[David G]

^^ that thing looks insane on the 22"s

youre tearing me between the two. ill price them out. Im guessing you went with oe 15in? or did you go to 17?

 

[silversurfer]

don't think you can do the fat wall on a 17"

 

[CADILLAC]

I'd go with 15" w/ whitewalls. Worst outcome, you change your mind, you can sell that setup in a heartbeat....

 

[PBR ME]

I still kick myself for not buying this car!

Yah, me too! Less than 50 left in the world and I decided to sell it.

Silversurfers pic FTW!

The Thicker White walls hold a few great characteristics in the look they give off.

While MTK's Rivi set up looks amazing for what he has done, I think that the thicker white walls hold a beautiful custom look for today, and still bring back the nostalgia of yesterday.

Beautiful car none the less.
