      Which Wheels for a 66 Nova

      I am having trouble figuring out which wheels will look best on my 1966 Nova.

      I was looking at the following? Or will take suggestions if anyone has a better idea.

      Pics would be great.

      https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/sh...wheels-20-quot The slx 37 is discontinued, but they will make them upon request.





      I will be installing a camaro LS1 disc brake conversion this winter. I am looking to get a 17" wheel (maybe 18").

      If your looking for a fully polished wheel, Billet Specialties is known for having the best polish in the industry and out of all the wheels we sell, I have to agree. I vote for the SLG 60

      Tough one. I like the new Mag wheels but last time I talked to BS they were still awhile out from production. The SLG60 is a sharp looking wheel as well. I really do not think you go wrong with any of your choices. I could also cut you something like the NewGen Splitters we put on our 67 Nova

      Or the NewGen Thrashers just to throw a few more choices in the mix!

      Have you installed these on a 2cd gen nova? If so, do you have any pics.
      I have been looking at every car show and on the net for a nova with these.

      Coursey, I really like the Mag wheel...plus it would give some variation to the white paint on your car.

      Of the 3 you listed I think the mag-g would look the best. It kinda seems like you like the classic 5 spoke look which is a good look, but I also think a salt flat looking wheel like boyd bonneville, curtis speed lakester, bonspeed superstar would compliment your car nicely

      I vote OTHER.... I would go with either Torq Thrust D's or O's(Originals) for that classic look.

      Wheel choice is a tough call. boils down to personal preference. There are several wheels that would look right at home on your car.Attachment 41703

      Let's get some eye candy in here...
      BilletSpec Mag-G


      SLG60


      SLX37




      I voted for the SLG60, one of my favorite ones, Billet Spec. also has some of the best finishes from
      all that I have heard.

      I ended up with some Centerline Retros, I could not pass up on the deal at the time.
      A friend bought some Billet Specialties, 'Rally' and they are a very sharp wheel too.

      ProWheels also makes a very nice wheel model, much like the SLG60, I believe it is the Jet 5.

      CenterLine has a 'Retro', again very similar to the SLG60 as well.

      I have Intro Pentia wheels on my nova,17x7 front and 18x12 rear, and they resemble the slg 60. I like them, my vote is for the 60.

      I want to ask first, what size wheels are you after? Some wheel styles look better in certain diameter and widths than other.....

      I am looking for a 17"x7".

      That is one of my problems, all the wheels are always displayed on a 20", i know they will look different on a 17". Also, the wheels i like i can not find on display anywhere close, or at any car shows.
