How do you old school(older guys) feel about big wheels(18-22') on muscle cars?

I noticed a lot of builder's like chip foose have been using 20 inch rims on new and classic new muscle car builds, what's your take on this?

Stick with those ol' originals.

i like somthing like a 17inch crome wheel......20s are rediculous.....a 67-69 black camaro done up right with some 17inch crome and fat rubber looks mint

I have 17's on the rear and 16's on the front.
I was thinnking of maybe 18's for the rear and 17's for the front. But the $$ is high.

20's are way too much.

which do you like ??

**INMY01TA** · 12-16-2006, 02:54 PM

I personally don't like any bigger than 17' on a F bod or any older muscle car. Maybe I'm wierd but I've never liked any of the Foose cars either.

**Wulfe13** · 12-16-2006, 10:17 PM

18's are schweet, but any bigger looks ghetto!!!

**94z28l** · 12-16-2006, 10:56 PM

i'm not an older guy but i think the big ass wheels look like ass

**Hot Black Trans-Am** · 12-16-2006, 11:02 PM

I don't think anything bigger than 18's look good on most cars. I also think the old 14 & 15's are to small.

, 16'' (stock wheels) are small, 17'' or 18'' are very nice, 18''+ i don't think so..
starts looking ghetto-ish.. my 2 cents...

Not 4 Me, If I owned a 69 Camaro or ect... it would have it's original stock shoe's & socks on!!! I ride the line between old school and what I like, if
someone wants 20-22's that is there tastes, I respect that.

For me 17 or 18 MAX, If you want to waste the money on rims, your call.....

**nhraformula** · 12-17-2006, 04:55 AM

i think those big ass rims look stupid on any car

+1, agreed. make me laugh my ass off to see cars with 20-22's rolling around that cost more than the POS they are bolted-on to. did i forget to mention that I hate stupid people, and people w/bad taste...

I dunno...sometimes they look good. I think it really depends on how you set it up. They dont look good on classic/original set-up's....but on resto-mods and custom cars they can look good. it also depends on the suspension set-up and wheel choice.
All these have 20's on the rear...18's on the front..

**INMY01TA** · 12-17-2006, 07:13 AM

I think all of the above cars ^^ look retarded.

You should check out the not-so-nice parts of Houston.........Ghetto trash slap 20-22s on crap like early 90s buicks and mid 90s nissan sentras, put a few "advertisement stickers" on their cars and cruise around mall parking lots with their windows down playing loud as rap "music" trying to draw attention to themselves. It is hilarious.
