    For me, if they arent the rallye's the torque thrust D's are the best look. But I'd go with the rallyes first.

    They look good, too bad all the American Racing wheels are made in China now.

    Those look GREAT! I'm thinking maybe 15in with some narrow whitewalls. Sweet! Thanks. Sweet GN too.

    Coker actually has the right bolt pattern for my Electra(5x5) rather than just the Skylark(5x4.75) I was just thinking maybe put the center caps from my non mobile Skylark onto what ever rallye rims I get for the Electra.

    They get the shells and centers made overseas, and press the centers in here. Assembled in the USA from chinese parts.

    Ok, I'm sold. Buick Rallye Rims for my hulking giant. I should say quick giant, I at least beat a 71 nova down the Guide in Bellingham three stop lights in a row .:3gears:

    So now my question is, has anybody gotten any leads on some of those for sale? I had a job for about 5 minutes today, and good old Chuck Olsen Chevrolet said they changed their mind, so I'm still in a rut, but hopefully the Buick Open will lift my spirits. Also, how wide are the whitewalls on that? 2 1/4"? They look even better than my thin whitewalls.

    yeah they were 2 1/4 and as for some rims if your looking for some good drivers I think we can accomodate you.My dad is doing over 4 sets as we speak and is looking to get rid of them he has 2 sets spoken for right now. I'll get pix's and get back to you.

    Oh yeah check out this site for tires

    Sounds great, as soon as I get a job I'm all over them. And I wish I new about that tire site before, I get worse looking tires that cost more from Les Schwab :mad:
