Here are a few pics of a 72 TA with 17x9 YR1 wheels.

Thanks for the pics. Again, looks just plain ole wrong on 70-73's.... Awesome on the 77 and ups!

[1980 TA]

I think they look awesome on a early bird. I would like to see them on a 68-72 GTO as well.

What size tires are you running? Tell us a little about your suspension as it looks lower than stock.

The look...awesome, great, et al.

What backspacing and tire sizing are you running?

[JC455]

I dig 'em on the early cars!
Imagine them w/ a body colored accent like a 73 T/A in red- or a black centered/fully polished one on a Brewster green 73 or an early model black Formula-- HOT!!

I'll have to disagree with you. NOV8TR's 72 looks great!

[GTOLou]

They look great - not a flame, but the boat-anchor like weight is keeping me from pulling the trigger.

Has anyone weighed the 15x8's?

[Grand73Am]

Even though the 17's will of course weigh more, you should save some of that weight back, since the tires have less mass.

Discoquik,
Tazz2 is trying to build a 17X9.5 honeycomb. You may try to PM him. I'm really hoping for a 12" rear wheel for my minitubbed '76. If yearone can't do it, I say lets give the "little guy" a try. Not sure how far along he is, but I already told I'd like to be first is line for a 17X9.5 and a 17X12 (for a 335 tire).

For those 17" snowflake lovers, a 275-40ZR17 should fit no prob on a 17X9 rim. Go with a 245 or 255-50 up front on 17X8 rim.

This is what Tazz2 is working on. I say let's give him some support!

Tazz2, forgive me if I'm being too forward here. I really want to see this happen.

Thanks for the tip. Talked briefly, will be getting updates! Thanks!
