68 GTO Wheel selection.

Hey guys having a huge issue with wheel size selection. Don't know if I want 18. 19. or 20's
I really would like to see what all three sizes look like.
Any help would be great.

Search Andrew Borodin's GTO, could be a good reference for the 18" selection.

Thanks Dale. Looking for more of a euro / mesh wheel 10.5 to 11 for rear 8 to 8.5 on front
without sticker shock,LOL.

Exactly whats your price range for the wheels and tires?

If you go with 18" wheels all the way around you will have a better selection of some autocross tires (200 tread). Once you go to 19s, the sizes are harder to come by. Trust me i know. I have 18x9 in the front and 19x10 in the rear on my 68 chevelle. 20s is to big IMHO. I also think it looks terrible when you have 18s in the front and 20s in the rear. To much of a difference.

Would love to keep WHEEL budget under 2k.
The chevelle looks great . Like the black with polished lip.
Does the metric size 5x120 fit well. been seeing a lot of good looking wheels
with metric size.

any ideas on anything. the 18 19 combo looks good

No from what i hear 120 will not fit. I wouldnt do it. Look at summit racing wheels, vision wheels, US MAG (Bandit and Rambler) and ET MAG wheels. They have some cool wheels for cheap. Some are cast wheels which isnt bad, just heavy. they have 5X 4.75 wheel lugs. The ET Mags are cool and old school road racing look. The Bandits fom US Mag are sweet because they are a traditional 5 spoke with an old school look, but not played out like the torque thrust style.

Here's a pic of the US Mag Bandit U109 rims on a 71 Lemans - I think 18x8F & 18x9R. It not my car, I just liked the look and saved the pic as a reference for my 72 Olds 442 convertible project.
