Looks good... I saw some things the other day that go behind your wheels to cover up the drum brake and makes it look like big drilled rotors. They would look good on this big wheels.

I plan to check into them, they can be seen at:

It is a cover that goes behind wheel, just need to check on if they work with the drum & disc setup?

Reading description, says designed for rear wheel drive only, bummer!!

Thank you!!!

Size is 17" x 7.5", same size as the Chevy 17" wheel.

Offset is a tab bit different, not much, but some.

Well, they don't make a 7.5-inch width, it's either a 7 or an 8. If you put the stock 215 tires on them (and they don't look stretched) then they are a 17x7. Factory wheels 17x6.5

As far as the polished wheel discs, they won't work in front. The disc needs to sit flat on the hub surface, so it would hit the brake caliper. You could put them on the drum brakes in back.

The wheels certainly do make it look a lot more retro.

puting the accents on the rear only wouldnt look so bad. It might even make the rear rims/tires look bigger.
