The deep "Vectors",seem to beout of production.
I can't even seem to find deep dish chrome reversed rims. [:@]

Hey C3, It looks like you will be cruising the swap meets to find those!

You learn something new every day. Best bet is to probably watch Craig's List and ebay. I'll keep my eye out.

What about the fitment issues?

I just happen to have a set of those, but they are not 10" wide.

Nice. They look like they might be 8.5".

What's a set of those worth today?

It says that those wheels are "painted machine alloy" . I want to either paint or powder coat my rims black. What kind of paint is best? Powder coating mine may be a problem as I am told they are not clean enough and the finish may bubble or come off.

Any suggestions?



Used prices on these rims is around $50.00 to $100.00 each.

thanx C3 they are either cragar or centerline SST`s 15x8 in front and deep dish 15x10`s rear 4 inch bs on both.
I was a kid all through the 70`s and thats how i remembered the cars lookin then so it kinda stuck on me but i couldnt take the rear jumpin all over so i put a set of cutom made 15x10 with 5.5 BS ralley wheels on it and lowered the rear ack down so these wheels are sittin in my shed lookin for a new car to jump on!!
