New to PT
Hi everyone, I am new to this board and am amazed at all the knowledge avaliable here. I presently have an Grand National with a mild pro touring look to it. I am presently working on a full pro touring 73 Camaro, just car out of paint and i'm starting suspension work, I sure am glad I found this site before I satrted purchasing parts. anyone have any suggestions for wheels this is one area i'm stuck on can't decide what will look good?

Anything 5 spoke!! And nothing to thin on spoke design. Keep a wheel that has a little mass to go along with body styling.

It's good to have another GN owner aboard. I've got one also and am planning on doing just a little pro-touring stuff to it, 18's sway bars and springs, and when money comes in brakes. Gonna try to see if i can't fit the c5 brakes onto it. I've also got a 69 camaro, Guess we got the same taste in cars.

Good call on the '73 Camaro.
Not bad for an old Canuk.... oh wait a minute :rolleyes5
Who am I to talk.....
Welcome...
Wheels? I am looking at 17's.. but no bigger... I really like thicker 5 spokes as well... however I am kinda partial to the look of my Centerlines.... I still have much more work before I need to decide that yet....
Cheers
