5 spokes rule. One day Shake n Bake will get the five spokes from my Cutlass Supreme, but not for a while. Very very nice. I know those tires were for free and winter and stuff, but is that the correct tire size? Not picking on you at all, just curious

You mean a 205/55/16? That's the same size I run, and I personally feel it's the perfect size for an a-body. Even though it's listed as a "205", it's VERY close in width to say, a 225/60.

Looks good. Now you just need to put some snow tires on those stock wheels and put them back on for a couple months.

I can't speak for the 6cyl A's, but my coupe is like a tank in the snow with it's Michelin Slaloms all the way around.

Yeah I would Have To agree It looks MUCH better than the old steelies that make it look sort of like a winter beater to me for some reason.

I just realized, the tires look strange to me because I have them on my Cutlass Supreme which runs 225/60/16. Good looks!

Very nice! Simple 5-spokes are the way to go. Now if I could just find a set for my Ciera...

Keep your eye open on eBay - they come up once in a while. That's where I got my set - paid less than $100 for them!! I've got 'em sitting in my shed awaiting installation on the International once it's rollin'. Your local salvage yard may be a good source as well, as the vehicles that originally had those installed are starting to go to the wreckers because they're "too old" and not worth fixing. Keep searching, you'll find 'em. :D

Don't even bother with the 225/60 tires. They will lift the car up (tire is almost 2inches taller) and will rub. I put my Grand prix wheels on a an international before and have a pic somewhere.

She's hanging in there, though old age is catching up with her. Rust is popping up everywhere.
