Are these worth it?


I can pick up a set of wheels like this(complete with rings and centres) for about $100
 They're on a 79 parasienne, the tires are about 50%.  Don't really need them, but I might get them and try them on my 60 wagon to see what it looks like.

Check to make sure it's the right bolt pattern. I think the sedans had the small pattern like your 60 would, but some if not all the wagons were 5 on 5 pattern that won't fit your wagon.

That'd be OK as well...Then they'd fit on my 92 Caprice wagon, its 5 on 5

I actually used a set of those on my 86 Monte Carlo SS for winter tires. I had Chevy centre caps from a Z/28 too. I still have those wheels, came off a 76 Firebird we had.

Kind of hard to lose on that deal then I'd say!

my rims are from an 81 trans am and fit the 59 no problem, just have to get the rear axle low enough to jam the tire in there. dont know if that helps? this is when i first got the car and put the rims on, 15 x 7 or 8, cant remember.
