Do the rims you are looking for look like mine? If so the fronts are a matched pair of 14 with only 5000 miles on the rubber. I would like $100 or best offfer. http://elcaminocentral.com/gallery-photo_album220-2004_0826Image0001.html

I have what you need on my car now.....4 US Indy slotted aluminum mags. They're 14"X7". 5 lug, 4-3/4 bolt circle.

The front skins are in good shape- (Kelley Charger Raised White Letter P205-70-R14s with more than half their tread left) and the rears are (BFG T/As 265-50-14's) that have about 1/4 of an inch of tread left on them (will pass inspection easily).

One of the front rims has a crack where the mechanic pulled too hard with the tire bead breaker. It's been fine for the local street use but I won't trust it for high speed ops. I'd relegate it to duty as a spare. Both front rims leak some around the tire bead and need to be cleaned/reseated.

Personally, I'm looking for an excuse to upgrade to some chrome ralley wheels or Cragar SSs. Take a look at what I have (http://elcaminocentral.com/gallery-album_Ruby-Rat-M-Nunn.html) and make me an offer I can't refuse.

Mike,
Beware of the Crager SS wheels. They have an oval slot instead of a round hole for studs to stick into. I was talking to Walt, manager of local Les Schwab (NW Chain of stores) tire outlet. He pointed this out to me, said they don't balance well due to that slot....told me not to buy them. I also considered 15 x7 or 15 x 8 SS-style wheels. Would look great but would add some unwanted wt to my suspension and car overall.

I told wifey ANY new set of wheels would be a Grand, minimum. She took a liking to my wheels. I had a guy write me, he thinks I have early Centerline Drag wheels......

Good point, George. Thanks.
