A good source for steel wheels is Wheels Express. I purchased a st of Dodge/Plymouth cop car wheels from them years back for a '77 Dodge I had. They sandblasted and I painted them.

^ Hey BB, what's the odd downpipe on the exhaust for, do you think? Maybe a valve to open/close at the junction, to route it to a more traditional pipe under the car for quietness?
