Default My dad gave me his 79

My dad doesn't want his 79 any more so Im the new owner I already replaced all the bushings on the suspension. Looking to get some 17 inch rims. It's a red 79 and I want some black rims. Anyone know any good looking rims? I'm not really going to change anything to the car. Just rims and a new paint job. Thanks!!

If you go with 17" rims you may need to install low profile tires or you will rub.
One of my friends took an old set of 15" Crager rims, sand blasted off all the chrome and powder coated them black.
They realy look great and no tire rub headaches.

Good luck with your 79
