Before and After: Johnny Lightning 1965 Chevy Impala


The original wheels on this Johnny Lightning 65 Chevy Impala just looked so wrong (picture courtesy of Jlcollector.net).  And here below it is after I added some steelies.








Pictured here is the Chevy Impala after a wheel upgrade.  I couldn't do anything with the original wheels, which were like little donuts, so I ended up drilling out the base to replace the wheels.  Pictured in the background is the maroon 65 Impala from 40th Anniv R8.  I didn't recall doing a rim swap on it but looking back at the original pictures on http://jlcollector.net, it looks like it also got the treatment.
