rocket racing wheels?
Rocket racing wheels. They are pretty inexpensive and have a very nice look to them. I noticed they have them on the 65' Cutlass in this months PHR. Anyhow i think these would look killer on my GTO but im kind of leary because they are so inexpensive. Im on a budget so these are looking pretty sweet right now. Anyhow....does anyone have any reviews of this brand of wheel?

It is a clean looking wheel. What is your GTO?
Check with Driverz, I know they sell them and sure they can give you some insight.

I think those wheels would go very nicely with the blue and black, what do you think?-Nick

Socrates, nice looking car.
Novaguy73, I think the gray would look sweet with the color of the car.

Rocket Racing wheels are a very nice wheel. We have them in our wheel line. Pricing is just a mouse click away.
Also check out our wheel image gallery.We have several cars in there with Rocket Racing Wheels. I believe one is a 69 GTO. Not quit the same but you can get a feel for what they look like on your car.

You can take the links you had: Originally Posted by Socrates

and capture the properties of the image, which for the first one was:

And add/replace url tags with image (img) tags, like:
after the link.
The browser will render them embedded in the page:
Here's the rest:

They are cast oversea's. Most cast wheels today are all done over sea's. I'm not sure anyone is casting wheels in the USA any more.The quality of these wheels are very nice. We have sold several sets with not one issue.
