Did a wheel swap between the 2 cars. WOW< is an understatement

[gtx6970]

Swapped wheels
Polished up the lips on the Torque thrusts really helped them . plus plan is turn all 4 tires in blackwall is going to really help the look.

But,,,WOW did it make the Coronet pop,
I also pulled all the side trim off it and stripped and polished it up nice and bright ( 2 front lip mldgs are still out ,,,they were quashed pretty good , thus took longer )

Satellite now. Im liking it more and more , especially once all 4 tires are blackwall

Looks great. I think the white letters look good on both. It's period correct in my book. White letters on older cars don't look correct for the fact there weren't tires with them during that time period.

I personally love raised white letter tires and think it just gives the 60's/70's cars a more "performance" look, your cars looks great with them as is....but hey it's your car do what makes you happy! ;)

 

[Lefty71]

Look what you are starting with.... those are both beautiful cars!

 

[T2R9]

Love them!

 

[Fran Blacker]

You made the right switcharoo.

I do too BUT, it's gotta be 'American' tires, ie: Goodyear, BF Goodrich, etc, etc, NOT Kumho or Yokahamas , etc.. Not saying one tire is better than the other, just strictly talking about looks. You wouldn't put a fart can on your old Mopar would you? (god I hope not....)

When first done.
Satellite had white letters all the way around and something about it i didnt care for.
Plus the 2 fronts rubbed the fender lip.

Once i went to a narrower tire and blackwall. It looked so much better to me. So i will get the rears dismounted and switched over this weekend. Biggest difference was the coronet.
It just pops now.

Perfect match. I think the vinyl top car looks better with the more “deluxe” wheels.

Not that it matters, but I prefer black sidewalls; to my eye, it's cleaner - a less cluttered look.
I'll advertise the tire brand as soon as I get 'em for free, haha.
The fleet's lookin' good.

To me wheels and tire sidewalls depends on the color of the car .
Light colors I prefer a darker tire and wheel.
Bright / in your face colors I like shiny wheels

My other car is black with chrome magnums and redline radials . Even though neither is correct for a 66 hemi car. But with red interior I felt the correct bluelines would clash ,,,,,,, in a big way

 

[Some Car Guy]

You’ve got those rides sharp! I always go with black walls out. Just a cleaner look and less distraction from the lines of the car.

 

[slimt]

Those wheels look great on both. Really Nice.

I have been wanting to find something different for my Charger. Just not sure what to put on though.

 

[Richard Cranium]

How about this look?

RC,
That looks good ,,,,,, on yours.

BUT, blue lines on B bodies are hemi car only in 66.
and I have one,,,but mine is redlines and will be as long as Im breathing.
I just dont think the blue lines would look all that great on a black car with red interior.
Plus My choices are the tires on the cars at hand . Blackwalls on the yellow car, and RWL on the red car
