Hey Guy's,
I just finish putting a new set of wheels&tires on my 84
this time I put 18X91/2 all around, also I illuminated the
side grills!
Tell me what you all think? Be kind

wheels look great! Did you have to use spacers on them or are they just a bolt on and go?

The wheels look fabulous. i'm just not a fan of bolts, or rivets, or dimples when it comes to time to polish.
