Old chool style wheels and tires

I think Chevy/GM missed an opportunity by not offering old school style steel wheels and caps for their retro. I have a black 08 LT Panel and am looking for red steelies with wide whites and baby moon caps.

Question Anyone have wheel information?

I recently purchased a white '08 panel & I am already out looking for retro wheels for it. The problem seems to be the radical inboard offset of the original wheels. Anybody out there find anything on these yet?

I sure like wheel vintiques smoothie or rally style. They make them for our cars. I am seriously considering a set for my white 08. Body colored centers, thin chrome outer ring and a '49 center cap. 16's w/some tall black walls. Gangsta.

I think they look Hot too.. But the Ralleys were a mid to late 60's & later thing

But everyone likes different things.. Would love to see some on a White HHR with Black walls..

like the idea of red steelies on black, wide whites and baby moons. Wheel Vintiques has hub caps in a number of designs that look very cool.

Unhappy No one seems to make first choice for wheels.

I am not that much into the stock hubcap look & the trim rings with baby moons were already on their way out when I started driving. So "retro" to me means some type of a 1960's style mag wheel. Since I already have factory rally wheels on my '67 Chevelle & '57 Bel Air, I was hoping to find something like the polished American Torque Thrust wheels in the ebay ad that I attached below. I just happen to think that they would look really good on a panel.
