I have just stumbled across some 15" Rallye Wheels. I really wonder, though, how they will look on my 4-door Special. Has anyone tried Rally Wheels on a 4-door? Do they look good or ugly?

(My car is a '69 Special, which is essentially the same as a Skylark, but it is a 4-door).

Definitely ugly on a 4dr, Bob... :grin: you best be sending those rims out my way! :Brow:

Actually I would think they would look great. :TU:

I prefer the Rallye wheels on Buicks of any size. They are just a nicer look than anything else in my view.

Bob. Here is a picture of your car with the Rallye wheels photoshopped in. The perspective is a bit wrong but it should give you enough of an idea to make a decision. I like it. I wish that guy would get out of the way though.

Holy cow! That's funny. You're very good with this whole computer thing, ain't ya Bill!!! Gotta say that I've never seen gold-plated rallye wheels before though... ;-)

That's pretty cool, they are worth a shot. The only thing is that I'm gonna have to buy new tires to really drive them, it's hard to squeeze my existing 14" tires onto 15" rims. (Not that I haven't tried to do that before!) The rims have some really bad tires on them, from someone that liked to do smokeshows almost as much as me. They are baa-ald!

We'll give them a shot (after I get the engine running right, priorities first!) and see if I can snap a picture. Maybe I'll get Elvis in there this time.

I was going to replace the original shot with this one but I kind of like the gold wheels. Here is the same shot but I've tried to lighten the wheels up a bit to look more normal.

LOL! Alright, alright you guys. This is getting silly. Next thing you're going to be adding spoilers, hood scoops, flames and who knows what! This is my baby, you know.

Thanks for the interesting shots that include the wheels (but not so much the one that includes my ugly physiognomy).

Honestly I am still chuckling a bit. Dave, that lowered pimpin' car is too much... (No fair making a new thread "ways we can make Bob's car look silly", either, please)
