Nice car, I believe your wheels are called Outlaw II wheels, there are a few different wheel companies that make wheels like those.

Thanks, it wasn't as nice as that picture makes it look at that point!

9 months later alot of work has been done, mechanical and body. And the more I looked at other wheels on C3's the less I liked the ones I had. Plus the wheels had been Bubba'd to fit the bolt pattern and I was concerned about the lugs staying tight. So I decided to join the vocal majority......



Crappy pic, but I think the car is really coming around. Good bit of mechanical work left to do to fix her up and then it's time to put some spirit into that smog L-82.

Gordonm, I really like your wheels. They have a deeper dished look than the ones I recently puchased.

Cragar has a series 301 wheel that is close to the old Centerline Champ wheel, but it doesn't have the rivets around the outside edge of the rim.
