Im going to be moving my rear springs inward with a set of DSE offset shackles here in a few weeks. The car is already minitubbed from the previous owner and im going to have somwhere slightly upwards of 13 inches inside the wheel well after the spring/shock move. So Im thinking a 315 series tire will do the trick. I also have to order a new rear end housing and get my moser axles narrowed so i may be able to mess around with backspacing. I currently have Weld Drag lites on there right now. And the truth is im kind of tired of them and everyone and their brother has them. They seem to be the "standard wheel" to put on your Hotrod. Ive gotta get new wheels/tires for the rear no matter what so I was thinking about going to a different wheel all around. Any suggestions? I dont want to spend the farm and I want to keep the wheels at 15-17" dia. I think i need a 10"-11" wide rim. Any suggestions that would look good on a 73' Nova? HAHA theres the trick. Its gotta look good on a 73" nova!! Should I just stay with the drag lites? Get somthing cool? What say you?...... theres pics in my photo bucket link below

How about the Apex-G by Billet Specialties?

We can do 17's for a very reasonable price. A set of our Classics from the endless series would look great on a 73 nova. If you like one of our styles and need a price quote, let me know.

Wheels are a personal choice. There are so many styles out there to choose from you can drive yourself nuts looking at all of them. I say narrow it down to 3 or 4 sets and ask for a photo chop. Allkar is very good at that.
You can check our web sight. We carry several wheel lines you can choose from. So take a look and see if you like anything and let us know.
Thanks Tim
