Rally wheel owners step inside!!!

alright so Im on my quest for new wheels (yes I did 3 searches) and was thinking what would the old school 60s 70s and even 80 style 15 inch pontiac rally wheels look like on a third gen? I think with some fat rubber they wouldnt look bad, plus they are a steal on ebay : ) so if you have pics of 15 inch rally style wheels on a thirdgen bird show the pics so that I can see thanks! also how was the fitiment? I looked em up and they should fit but I dunno thanks!

Aweful. I've seen a few thirdgen Camaros with them, and it looks all wrong. Stick those rally wheels on an early 80s malibu and it's amazing how good they look, but on a thirdgen, no way.

Id have to agree, jimiroc I think youve been mislead they def. came on older pontiacs. reason Im lookin for pics is that Ive never really seen em on a bird and I think the old style mixed with a little modern would look kinda cool, anybody good at photoshops?
