Welcome kodstarsgallant.
Have a look through this thread Random Galant Pictures (ADD HERE) you may find some pics that inspire you one way or another. Old school rims come up every now and then, or some others like to run with Sigma Turbo/Wherret or GSR rims. Or then there is the other option, buying new rims, sometimes in the end it can be a cheaper option, once you take into account the costs involved with restoring a set of rims.

Re: my first car 1977 galant
Hey mate Great first car!!
Very neat inside and out.
Please, please do not put bonnet vents, stickers, big aerials, or anything stupid on it, and it will be a great little cruiser for years to come.
If you change the steering wheel or gear knob, keep them in good safe condition away from moister etc. but dont throw them out.
She is in the very neat stock condition that people are looking for atm,
so if you can maintain it and look after it, it will be worth some money in afew years to come!
Keep up the servicing and maintainence, and check your brakes, and suspension.
Dont necessarily worry about more power just yet.
Some subtle but oldschool cool things you could look to do might be rear venetians, give it the Gma Bowls look ;)
find them new on ebay
And most JDM deep dish oldschool rims look cool
But its your car mate, do what you like.
Cheers

i dont mind jelly beans. to me they are time period correct and look ok on some cars. but i wouldnt run a set on my lancer cause i dont think they would look good on it and EVERYONE has a set.
