Oh no, don't do that! The rallye wheels are just too cool!

I love C6s and those rims are definitely cool, but man they look so out of place on that car...
Corvette wheels have good tires while rallye's have tires from 80's or 90's on them. Need cheap tire solution for it.

I am thinking about it...
It needs tires and I have three sets of Vette wheels. But they don't really fit. But I also have spacers for at least two wheels.

I like the ralleyes and mexican hats. They look sweet on 80's caprices too

The whole car is crusty, but workable.

It is essentially a carter made by Holley.
Street demon.
Needs some tuning. Cruise seems to be too lean.

One is missing. But as wheel fitment is problematic, I am looking for just new tires for those

Suspension/steering so far gone that it is almost undrivable on the highway. Not that it stopped me anyway. Also have a muncie now that might go in. Older design case, but should still be decent. In parallel ordered a rebuild kit for the siganaw. There is also 6.0 sitting in the garage waiting to go in to something

Nice project. You don't see too many of these with a 4 speed. If you're trying to go with Corvette wheels, I always liked these. They would be period correct.

I have been looking for those actually. Found a set but tires were bad and I think price was more of a corvette restoration budget vs a cheap run about.
