Does anyone have any information on the wheels on this car? I am having a hard time deciding what size they are.

Any information on how to replicate this look would be greatly appreciated.

That looks like the wheel they used to call the "Mini-Lite"!

.... On ET Wheels' web site: http://www.etmags.com/lt_iii.html

And here's a link to a Boss 302 site that shows those wheels mounted on some different cars:

Look on American Racing Wheels website in the Custom Shop. I think they used to produce those and they were called Bullet .

Thank you. Can anyone take a stab at the size? They look like 17s to me.

I would bet the same way. I would say 17 x 9 rear wheel w/a 275/50/17 Nitto NT-450. Front, maybe a 17 x 8 on a 255/50/17.

This is now becoming a very hands-on digression. Show us some pictures of the victim! Photograph the tire fitment/fenderwells with what you have now. Is it either of the cars in your sig? Give us a full description of your current tire/wheel dimensions, and show us how they fit in your fenderwells.
