i am looking to get some new rims on my 74 nova. i just dont know what looks real good on it exactly. i want 18's. what do u guys think would look best on it. you can view the video my going to yahoo videos and looking at matt's 74 nova. thanks.

I always loved the torque thrust 2's seems like every car has them but thats only because theyre awesome

hey. thanks for the reply but i want to have some kind of rims that not everybody has. i want it to be different. i like american racings alot but the torque thrust 2's are just too common. what else would possibly look good. i want them to be chrome so that it really stands out. thanks again.

that's the thing, everyone's tastes are different. what i think would look good might not be to your liking ;)

i'd recommend hitting a few car shows and see what the people are running. whether new school or old s'kool, it'd give ya some ideas ;)

there's so many possibilities... it's mind boggling :clonk: ;)

How about these? They were replaced with 15 x 8 rally wheels.

i have the same problem, not sure which to choose with so many out there and do not want to get the same that so many have, but thinking about it, how many folks are driving Nova's, so what if we did have a rim that is popular. I have a question, what is the bolt pattern on a stock 74 Nova?

5 on 4-3/4 bolt circle ;)

Love the wheels Phillip. I wish the would fit on my 66.

You can get adapter plates to fit most rims to your ride. What I did when selecting rims for my previous ride was two things. First I took a picture of my car then I went on the internet and pulled many different vehicles from car domain. I cut out the wheels using microsoft paint and just put them over my cars wheels. The result doesnt always look clean but it gives you a little idea on what you are looking at.

Cardomain is also a good place to look at other peoples cars of the same year and make most of them have specs on what kinds of wheels they are running also.

Another recommendation is to go to a wheel shop and look around. A shop in my town will actually take a clean rim out and hold it up to your car. It isnt the best way to see it but it can help.

My personal opinion is that this is a 70's era muscle car, and the 70's rims such as Cragar SS or Center-Lines etc suits this car perfectly. But that is only my opinion, I have centerline rims on mine and it gets alot of looks.
