      I'm really not feeling the NASCAR vibe with the Imperial. If I could keep both, that'd be the Mirada's bag, but the Imperial needs something a bit more classy, I think. Something 17-18", maybe 15x7" for the Daytons, with proper offset in front this time.

      I'm not finding anything I'm truly in love with yet, but I've got plenty of time to choose.

        Big and littles with Weld Rodlites...

        Then again I am partial to the drag race look.

          if you put wires on it, I will really start to wonder what kind of chemical experiments the armed forces have put you through.

            Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

              I didn't want to be the one to say it, but yeah, what he said.

                There is a Vette, much like SBG's in town with wire looking hub caps... Looks so tacky and ...... Well you add the rest.. Just plain wrong!

                    Beags - you've got this car dialed in better than any of yours in your head - get out of the tennis ball factory retriever and get that pair of black and white foxes on the road!

                        I was with you all the way until you said Soft 8's. Ugliest rim EVER. I'll go with NASCAR D-slot rims first.

                              Nothing is off of the table yet. I've yet to see anything that really sets with the car.

                                I'd hide them with hubcaps, or maybe some turbines off a Crown Vic. The only reason I say soft 8's is because I can't find a cheaper wheel.
