Well, depending on what you have in mind, there are quite a few options.
Look over this thread and it may help you drill down to more specific questions: what diameter wheel? Whether any suspension mods or OEM specs? Are you looking to rotate the set? or big-n-littles?

Hope that helps to narrow your search. Good luck.

wheels for 73
Just received a set of wheels from Year One, they are the pontiac snowflake wheels, look a little like the old enkie or bbs wheel, and the 1980 corvette centercap fits. Size is 17"x9" with a 47/8" backspacing. They fit my 80 perfect. And the price is right, $749 for set of 4 plus shipping. You can see these wheels on the Year One website, on the home page click on 64-02 pontiac then 67-81 firebird.

I also have a similar question. I am building a 75 I want a wider look and stance without going outside the fender wells and without going to an offset trailing arm. I am going to relocate the brake lines to achieve a 3/4 inch wider rim toward the trailing arm. Anyone help me and oh6driver with his 73???
