Haha thanks! I used to have popo lights, but i cut too many wires trying to clean up under the hood.... those 5x127 wheels are the same pattern as the 5x5's. Although 16 inch rims are hard to find performance tires for in the width i would need (275 or 285)

ahhhh i know you still want balls and all lol but how about running a slight stretch! lol but dont they offer a 17 for a few more bucks i thought?


There is alot of American Steel wheels that look sex and have nice lips/wide in 5x5!

I have a confession i love this car because my second car in the USA was a Lt1 ex-cop/cab caprice i love the room and the power! I always look for them on CL everyday lol even today!


I would love to see your car on some of those off road steel wheels!

prancing horse in an impala?

Nice wheel though, it would be sick if you could get an SS horn button.

When I see Impalas I think of this

Went to TRU motorsports in Indy today and picked up a really nice wood steering wheel. Now all I need is the MOMO adaptor to come in and I can install it into the car.

Damn those wheels would have looked great on your car

Oh I know I was really keeping my fingers crossed for those

Damn this is one sweet looking car!

The new wheels your thinking will look amazing! But they would need the chrome centers i think!

That sparco boss is great. I had one in a car of mine for months. No problems. Included several track days!

Thank you for your testimony! I was hoping someone had used this before. I don't really feel like paying three times its price for a NRG model

Wheels are no longer available so i decided to comfort myself by ordering a new front sway bar and a MOMO steering wheel hub adapter. Now i'm going to be looking into quick release systems as well as steering wheels!

Has anyone ever used the SPARCO quick release systems before?
They are much cheaper than NRG's otherwise i'd look there first.

Found what looks to be a good deal on c6 grand sport rims, bare metal which means i can paint/powdercoat them any color I want. After Christmas I'll be sending a message to the seller to see if they're still available. So here's the question guys.... what color???? I was thinking gloss black, white, or silver (possibly chrome, although i'm not a grandpa...)

It looks ok, but I think some fat five spoke wide wheels would look better. Just my .02 cents

There are many wheels i'd rather have, but for under $400 for a new set that fits right away... It's hard to find any that look this good.

damn dude, this build is awesome!

love these impalas when theyre lowered, very clean man, good job!

Thanks man! Doing my best, just give me a year or so and see how naSSty this thing will be

Since you are going with a cage just keep the stock steering wheel until the cage is in, then tie the harness to the cage, and the harness through the seat. Then do a quick release with a custom wheel because your head wont hit the steering wheel with a harness.

Definitely planning the cage, but that wont be for a LONG time, which is a problem because this February the Hoosier Impala & Caprice club will be attending World of Wheels in indy, and i'd like my car's interior to be in perfect shape... There's a 15-25 age category that would be perfect for me. There is a set of 5 point safety harnesses for sale that i could use without a cage, but it eliminates my rear driver's side seat:
