Ideas for my car

I recently got this car from a friend of mine (Chevrolet Caprice wagon 1977) and i have no idea for the color and rims of the car you know the visual part so share some ideas

 

How do you want it to look, stock? Or something a bit more modern?

 

Welcome to the Station Wagon Forums, Steven!

As you can see, I am also an owner of one of these General Motors 'box wagons' (That's what we call them). Mine is the Pontiac version.

As to wheels, there's lots you can do with these. One thing you have to careful of though, and that's the bolt pattern. These wagons use a 5 x 5" bolt pattern. Note that this is not the same as the Chevy Caprice sedans, which used a 5 x 4.75" bolt pattern.

One popular wheel choice is the Chevy / Corvette rally wheel, like this:


Here's a Craig's List ad for a new set: (this is just the first ad I cam across, doing a search)

look cool on supremes and thin whites

 

Frannie i prefer the old style (stock) but i am also a fan of the mafia so maybe a mafia look i dont know if that exists

i really like the rims from the first picture but do you think they would look nice with white walls i want your opinion

 

Suprise!! I think every wagon should be black, with some old school mags.. Supremes, Cragar S/S or shelby slotmags.. Thin white wall tires and smashed to the ground...

 

I think the white-letter tires you already have would look fantastic with the Chevy / Corvette rally wheels. Whitewalls don't really look that good with them.

 

i like black or body color steel wheels with trim rings and baby moons on p225 15 tires... but i am kinda old school... and cheap..

 

Krash Kadillak i like your idea i have an idea in my head how it would look

whiskey runner do you have picture for me as an example

 

I've seen on the net a few Chevy wagons with these, pic with trim ring....




I liked them so much I picked up the set bellow for my Buick...... witch I'll put a Buick emblem on the center caps. I'll have mine powder coated in gun metal.

They also have a few center cap options....



The Chevy Astro van caps fit perfect and look good on the rims also...




real small baby moons on fat steel rims looks good also similar to what whiskey mentioned....
