New wheels for the Impala. Any ideas?

[Beagle]

I'm having a tough time with anything 5 spoked any more, but these kind of appealed to me. I like the FR500 wheel... if you get it real sticky, you may want to ask the guys on corner-carvers about busting the centers out of them? that's a big girl...

I've been pondering selling my wheels.. in case you're interested, but shipping to CA would probably be too expensive.

^^^^^^ Scott - if you like Bishir's wheels - for reference I think shipping would be $100ish based on : I sent a really heavy crankshaft (FE stroker) from Detroit to Randal in BFE - along with a set of inline 6 headers, and a set of conn rods - it came out to $100 for FedEx Ground - your boxes would smaller and total weight would be less I'd guess - those wheels are pretty light I'd imagine.

Go a bit higher- unless he ships greyhound, he's looking at around 250 for shipping. for a pair of 17x9s it cost me 45/wheel from here to texas.

My wheels were called Trakstar "S" Wheels. I had to custom order to get the 9.5" width in the rear and the bs needed to fit my GN , but they fit the Chevelle just fine though they could be wider. They were made for a short time by American Racing and no longer made. I cut the end off the centercaps and glue'd SS emblems on them for a more factory look.

I think these wheels would look great on the Impala:

Unless you go with a Miata sized 205/50/15 or a 225/45/15. You will not find any real performance tires in a 15 inch diameter.

I would go with a 17 inch wheel and at least a 255 section width...

As for style of wheel... Price and weight will dictate what you choose... There is a bunch to choose from...

Looks like style (aesthetics) won't have much to do with what you choose.

Oh well.
