I have rallys and love them. I have not seen your type wheels before so they must be rare. I definitely like them with your paint. A different look but quite nice.

I like the look on your car a lot. The bottom line is, what do you like?

I like the wheels in your sig pic better. Not to say I don't like those covers, I just prefer the Rallyes.

Bruce hit it on the head...it's like having a trailer hitch on the sides of yer car!

You will eventually learn to step around them...or wear shin guards...

Other than that, I like 'em! You sure can't beat them for the money you paid. They look great on chromies.

I am going to take it to Eureka that way(to irritate Micki) and see how I like it. I have always been partial to the rallys as well but as I said, I don't like change much.

If it sets the car off from the rest of the pack in a classy and tasteful way, go for it.

I think they work on your ride.

They look great to me.

The most important thing is, do you like them ? Everything else is a moot point !

They do dress up the car a bit over the rallys and are a bit more unique. The rallys were everywhere (Camaros, Chevelles, Impalas, Novas, Vettes and also on trucks/vans). I've always liked the "turbine" look, but in a cast wheel not a hubcap. Couldn't find a set I liked well enough (or could afford) so that was one reason for changing to the ZR-1 look-a-likes on "The Toy".

btw - you didn't buy them. You STOLE them at that price...!!! Great find!
