I'm trying another means of posting a pic of the wheels I found that I LOVE and they SHOULD fit correctly.

These were available for a bit less than $500 for the 17 x 8 w/ 40 offset ($473, I think), a bit over $500 for 18 x 8 with 40 offset and a bit less than $700 each for 20 x 8.5 w/ 45 offset (which I do NOT want!) Your taste may differ and you do have that right!). I think demand has been SO low that American Racing has stopped advertising these wheels. I HOPE they will still make them available for "special order". PLEASE let us know the results, if you do indeed try to special order there GEORGEOUS wheels! Let's give them reason to know the Toronado Lovers are alive and well!

Don't think I'll be spending $2000+ on a set of wheels any time soon.

Me neither, Otto. I'm not at all a rich man! Now, if I could sell the Boyd Coddington wheels I now have, that might well change things entirely. I just wish I could figure out exactly which cars they were made to fit.

In the meantime are you trying to find a set of stock rims to safely drive with?
The steel ones can be chromed and actually look pretty good. Somewhere on here is a photo of a car with them.
Personally I think the trim rings and argent silver wheels with chrome center caps look the best. They're similar in style to the Chevy and Corvette rally wheels.

Otto, I'm looking for more than just the wheels. I need several other parts and this car has most of what I need.

You're considering buying that green one for parts? I'm not keen on the flame job.
Notice the hood emblem?

Yes, there is a LOT about the green car that I'm NOT fond of, but it has many parts, and body parts, that my car needs. It got sold to someone willing to pay more than I can afford though. I'm still looking and bidding though. Hope beyond hope for us less than rich men!

Yeah, there's LOTS about the Green machine I'm not fond of, but the car did indeed have many things mine needs. Someone else bought it for more than I was willing to pay, mainly due to shipping cost across most of the whole country (shipping costs could DOUBLE what I'd spend for the car).
In the meantime I've tried to enlist the help of a local Car Club to get exact measurements for wheel and tires that DO fit my car.
