Need help with wheel choice on an E body
« on: August 03, 2011 - 09:17:09 PM »
I remember reading about a program that would show different wheel choices on a car. I like the rally wheels but would like to see how all chrome magnum 500 wheels would look on my car. Car is a 74 Barracuda. Not sure what wheel to go with at this point, John.

Magnum 500s.  Rallyes way too common.

That looks nice, thanks for the picture. Anyone else have pictures of a Cuda with magnum 500 wheels?

The "E-body Tire combos" thread at the top of this section has lots of pics of different kinds of wheels. Several examples of Magnums in there.

I worked my way through that thread at least 10 times trying to decide which wheels I liked best. Very useful.

There used to be a web site that you could select your make car and have it show different wheels of your choice on the car.

Its been a while, so I don't have the link or even know if the web site still exists!
