    You guys gotta do something with the wheels it will make the car more eye catching than it already is. I love how subtle the marbled effect it.

      Yeah... it needs some 14" 100 spoke wire wheels and some hydraulics.
      maybe some fuzzy dice and fringe hanging down from the head liner.

        lol. I was thinking more along the lines of a fresh coat of paint.

                Where the wheels sandblasted at one point? If so then i'd say a fresh coat of paint, maybe a clearcoat and wheelwax and they'd shine like the sun.

                  The wheels have never been sandblasted, still thinking about what i'm going to do with them or just replace them.

                      They are 14" correct? Personally I would go with some 16" Pony wheels and mount some stock sized 225/50/16's to them like my Mustang has, nice wide tires that are low profile but still plenty of sidewall to absorb impact. At least some 15x8's would be awesome, fit some 255/60's on there.

                          Ok, judging by the sidewall bulge in the pics and since they are 225's, looks to me like 15x6.5, my Silverado has 15x6's with 215's with that much bulge and my Sierra has 15x7 with 235 with the same bulge. I'm no expert though and i'm sure you or Jim know the exact size not me. But those aren't a bad size for a Vic, personally I don't want thinner than 7" but it's up to you, the wheels look great.
