Show me your wheels!!
Hey guy's need some ideas for custom wheels for my 81. I'd love to see some pics to give me some idea what is possible. Thanks

These are Edelbrock 454's, but I don't think they'd look right on an '81 (too "vintage"):

Well thanks...my momma always told me I was "special".
I can't claim full responsiblity for the idea, however. Awhile back, another forum member joked about doing something like this to their car. I took it one step further and actually followed thru.

They're just cheapy vinyl stickers. You can pull them off without much effort and no paint damage.
