Before & After photos - wheels on my '68 RS

[Nine Ball]

I recently picked up a 1968 Camaro RS to fix up and cruise around in. It isn't the most popular color combo, with its Lemans blue paint over blue interior combo. I'd say it was looking pretty Grandpa-like with the factory 14-inch rally wheels. Yesterday I installed a set of 17" Boyd Coddington "Timeless 5" billet wheels on it that I had from another car. The difference in overall attitude is amazing, just from changing the wheels.

Before: ~yawn~

After: CooL!

Just another example of how WHEELS are the most important aspect of a vehicle when it comes to an overall theme or attitude you want the car to have. :bananna2:

Sweet ride.

I tell you with having moved to the beach and the warm weather a convertible sure does tempt

Very good comparison photos that really do emphasize how much wheels can definitely change the attitude of the car.

hot..

now lower it!

Agreed...:naughty:

[Nine Ball]

It is low enough, it rubs the tires slightly on big dips or bumps. Not every car I own has to be pro-touring ;)

Very nice. It is time to lower it some.

Man that looks great. Suprising how much rims and tires changes the looks of the car.:woot:

[class67]

I agree Tony, car looks fine the way it is. nice job!

[AndrewNTX]

Great looking car, if that is too 'grandma' looking on the 14" wheels, you can drop it off at my house and I'll cruise it! I'm only 39! The new wheels look great too.

It is amazing what a set of wheels can do for a vehicle, that is the best example I have seen!!
