    Any ideas on late model wheels that would fit a 66 Chevelle or 67 Skylark? Any pix? I would prefer 5 spokes. Thanks

    camaro, firebird, gto, g8, new caprice ppv ,ss, corvettes, and s10/s15 trucks all have the same bolt pattern. offset may not be the same and you may need a spacer may not. also bmws use the small gm bolt pattern.

    I was thinking 17 or 18 inch 5 spoke wheels. Seems hard to find nice looking aftermarket wheels.

    something from rocket racing or cragar would fit the bill id image. bad thing about oem wheels most need spacers on the back due to the offeset and you end up spending about the same.

    I think the cragar 500 series or the 610 are the best looking wheels made.

    Well that and the 391s but there not 5 spoke.

    I think a 5 spoke wheel looks the best when the lug nut holes are integrated into the spoke near the center instead of between the spokes. I'll try to find some examples.

    the 610 is the old school cragar look

    Here's 2 more I like where the lug nuts are part of the spoke.

    zr1 wheels but there close to what you want. not a fan of them on a buick. rather have something with a deeper dish offset.

    Those are ok, not exactly what I'm looking for.

    Here's a couple more examples that are recessed a little. It would be a 5 lug rim of course. Might go with a smoke grey color too.
