Got my new Weld RT-S S74 wheels in. Running 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear with 245/40 and 275/40.

Initially, I thought these would look too big, being that I had 15-inch wheels before, but I really like how these look!

IMO don't look good on older cars.

wedgie · Oct 3, 2013

If you like them, that's all that matters.

There's only ONE opinion that counts...and that's the opinion of the poster. Don't see that he asked for anybody else's... especially negative ones. Some of you guys really know how to take the wind out of a guy's sail...

Wheels look good. Maybe a little more "meat" in the tire dept. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

Wow . . . the 18s don't look bad at all ! Don't think they look too big at all . . .
I'm glad that you posted the picture, now I know what 18s will look like on my Belvedere . . . I was wondering too !
It'll be a while before I'm putting tires on my car . . . Have fun ! ! !

65RoadRacer · Oct 3, 2013

Hey, these wheels aren't for everyone, and to be honest they weren't my first pick, but seeing them... I like them. These pics aren't great (night shots) but here they are on the car. I'd like to go a little wider on the tires, but for now these will do.

definitely looks Mean sitting on the ground ! !

I generally don't like anything bigger than 17" - but these look nice and still maintain a nice proportional look! What do you think about the handling/ride?

Yeah, initially I was thinking 17s but these start at 18". After installing them, I really like the way they look. I will be hitting Willow Springs Raceway next Saturday, and the current upgrades include four-wheel disc brakes, QA1 tubular arms, strut rods and single adjustable shocks, and Hotchkis torsion bars. I hit a corner hard last night for the first time and it handles great. The ride is pretty good and I have the shocks adjusted about mid-point. I'll mess with it a little at the track and see where it's best. I'm also installing a Borgeson steering gear conversion on Tuesday, quicker ratio, smaller, and lighter by about 13 lbs.

I was going to keep my cop car wheels and only use these for racing, but I really like them a lot. It's a tough call to switch back to my 60-series tires and 15-inch wheels right now!

HYRDGOON · Oct 5, 2013

Love them! And for those that "don't think they look good"... It is for the opinion of the owner and SECONDLY.... It's 20 Lugs to switch rims at any time!!! It's not a permanent alteration.. come on now!

Do you still road race your 65? 65RoadRacer and moparcrazy what city in CA are you from? Not a lot of 65's around here. I'm in SD, Ramona actually.

gdrill · Oct 6, 2013

I'm not really a big wheel fan, but that looks very good. I like them / the look / the car!

moparcrazy · Oct 11, 2013

Very sexy and look very proportianate on that body style in my opinion

65RoadRacer · Oct 16, 2013

Yeah, they've really grown on me and I like them a lot. My opinion today is 180 out from what it was prior to ordering the wheels.

5.7 hemi · Oct 16, 2013

I dig them!!
