stock steel rims w/ impala center caps

[JohnnyC]

so one of my chrome 5spoke rims cracked... I can't find a replacement anywhere within 70 miles for under $200.

What I did find though is a set of the stock 16x7.5 rims and a set of Impala police car center caps which look like they'd fit. What I'd do is mount some BF G-force 245/50R16 on those rims and have somewhat of a sleeper look.

I already have a heads/cam motor with full 3" exhaust which is a single black turndown pipe on the left to keep the sleeper look. (Cam is similar to a GT1, came with the car as it turned out.)

I'm too poor for a full set of torq-thrust rims which I think look awesome, well but I think this would look kinda cool in its own way. What do you think?

those center caps, our stock steel rims are an inch wider.

I'm wrapping them in 255/50R16 g-force tires, assuming they will fit on a 16x7.5 rim, which I'm pretty sure they will fit on the 16x7.5

Maybe I might even go with the stock camaro hubcaps :) sleeper


I wonder what those caps screw into?

My question is...how do wheels even help the sleeper look? IMO those looks *** except for the centercap lol. I wouldn't worry about your 'sleeper' look and get a stock replacement, because I don't think you would want to be rollin' around with those.

Re: stock steel rims w/ impala center caps

$80 for the set of rims versus $200 for one rim located 100+ miles from me. Tires are $90/piece

It's in taste, IMO I like it (I used to have a Vic, so cop steelies with the center cap is cool). I'd say try it, where are you finding these steelies from?

Re: stock steel rims w/ impala center caps

a local junk yard, $20/piece

I like it because nobody else has done it that I know of... I'm already rollin on 15" steelies off an '89 caprice for winter

I think it might look a little intimidating that way... ha

Figuring also that the tire will stick out a little from the rim, and my rims are wider than those pictured

Re: stock steel rims w/ impala center caps



ugly as hell but they get me through the winter and they HOOK at the track, possibly better than my 245/50R16 g-force t/a tires did. They are 205/70R15 winterforce's


Added bonus is there's no worry if I curb these things, they can take a beating.

That looks good to me.
I am happy with my g-Force tires, also.
What color car?
