I'm Questioning My Taste In Automotive Wheels

[Budnicks]

mine om my car Edlebrocks remade the Halibrands w-knock off-spinners covering the lugs
they were pricey at the time

you can see the lil red tag carved into the rim, the Edlebrock logo

lots of profiles/character style lines, not just flat & polished
look like the org. Halibrands were, but aluminum

the original Motor Wheel Corp not by Chrysler or Ford
the Road Wheels all chrome with black accents
no trim rings on a 68 or before, in a 15"
69 & later had the trim rings, not a fan at all
Road Wheels is a good choice for people looking to stay stock-ish look
& not painted rim with wheel covers of Hub caps Poverty Caps
or just chrome lugs,
to each their own
poor boy wheels & tires

Choice of the Mopar guy with deep pockets back in the day. The Demonstrator, August 1971.

if that's GG1, it's my car exactly........ those Magnums look great; I just don't see aluminum slots working on it ...... maybe it's the stance, I like it a little high on all 4 corners; and maybe with a little rake...... that thing looks like it has a load in it's pants


hmmmm, maybe it's all about the stance

These new styles, American Racing is now Chineese I think, not sure about holley.
15x7 and 15x8 are common, but the skinnies are not.

My preference. Torque Thrust D would be a third option as well.

The magnums look so much better than the steel wheels!

I like the look of the Magnum 500s on B-bodies.
The ralleys look good on E-Bodies

Keystones on Creme. They look like Magnums from a distance. Cragar SS's on black.

Crager/Super Tricks
are great for mild street use, but awesome for a track car
I've split 2 different front runners/wheels running them on the street
one cracked right on the edge of the beed like 12" worth
just going into my driveway a lil fast
the other about an 1" or so just under the bolts that held them together
like 8" longs on the radius of the wheels
on a 68 Sport Sat that was lightened up a bit,
mostly gutted interior, lightweight buckets, no back seat
a lot of aluminum under the hood replacing cast iron
headers, fiberglass hood & Bumpers & lightened bumper brackets
like a 3,300# car

I've got a pair of Supertrick skinnies. I like em, but since I can't envision actually putting them on one of my cars, i haven't restored em.
They are cool, and light, but Malex showed his wheels, completely streetable, were a quarter of a pound heavier.
