    I am soliciting your opinions about rims for the Catalina, what do you guys think would be coolest?

    (Don't hesitate to add other ideas)

    Ha! One drum for those would go for about the same price as a set of conventional rims, thanks anyway. ;)

    I don't think the Buick's (5+5"?) are a compatible bolt pattern, are they?

    They do look nice though, and get a lot of attention.

    Seriously, if mine hadn't had them on it when I got it I wouldn't have spent the money either. I vote Supremes.

    Are you sure they are 5x5? That would be an ugly surprise...

    I think he's right on the 5X5 on the Riv wheel. Same as other large 60's Buicks.

    the catalina's 5 on 5 too, and don't try putting on a reversed astro, there's not much room in the wide track cars...

    How about some white wagon wheels with RWL for that NASCAR look?
