Well after a being a bit sidetracked the last couple months, I finally got my new wheels and tires mounted up and installed on the 71. I decided to go with a chromed set of Rally II's from Wheel Vintiques. Needless to say, I'm absolutely THRILLED with the look! The car is exactly what I envisioned, and I couldn't be happier. Just had to share some pic's with you all.
 Here are the spec's of what I went with: 15x8" all around. 4.5" back spacing up front, and 4" back spacing in the rear. Front tires: 235 60 R15 Rear tires: 295 50 R15 Keep in mind that the 12 bolt I installed last summer is 1" narrower than factory, so that allowed me to run the 1/2" deeper back-spacing on the rear wheels. I've always liked a 'deep dish' look, and I got just what I was aiming for here. Hope you enjoy the pics as much as I do! The first shot is the the old tire/wheel combo. It's funny how sometimes I think I know something will look good, and then it turns out even better than I imagined. This is that for me. Win!!

Thanks Gents! I appreciate the compliments. The 71 keeps getting closer to my vision with every upgrade/improvement.
 Dennis, yes we are enjoying our usual wonderful winter weather here. I know what you're dealing with as I have a brother in MN & one in MO. They're suffering as you are. You should come on down and visit your family soon. Let me know when you get here and we'll go cruising in a Pontiac! But I must warn you... you might just find you have to make the move too, like I did 17 years ago...
