Need some opinions on wheel choices

[AZMoparJoe]

I currently have American Racing Torq Thrust IIs on my 69. The fronts are 17x7 and the rears are 18x8. I’m not a huge fan of “big” wheels and small sidewalls on 60s-70s cars. I also have a set of American Racing Outlaw 1 wheels, 15x7 front, and 15x8.5 rear. The 17/18s kinda grew on me a little bit, but I’m not a fan of how the car rides with them. I always liked the “Centerline” style wheel. I’d like to hear some opinions from people on wheel choice. What would you keep on the car?

I am a fan of slots on the 68-70 B bodies.

I love Centerlines, but they really don't compliment Yellow... A darker color works better...

Gotta agree, those tires are pretty short... But I don't mind the wheels... Might look into a taller tire.....

VN47 Vectors ! They just belong on a 69

Post #6 very good, 15" is the sweet spot... anything NOT 16,17,18,19,20 "... cragars, torq-thrust, slots, centerlines, keystones, etc. all faves of the era... pick one in a 15" size and enjoy !

On a Charger, I agree. I don’t know how they’d look on a Bee though.

Yellow is a tough color for wheels. Magnums, Keystones, or grey Tork-thrust would be best. Like my cream colored Bee. Very few wheels looked good on it.

There are wheel companies that you can virtually see the wheels on your car. There are some you can change the color of the car.

I’m not a big Keystone fan but that’s a beautiful car!

Me too!

The "Centerline", but I like "slots" too.

Me too, but I those tires make all the difference.

Dunlop Radial G/T Qualifier tires are awesome, including the name/text of the white letters.

I had a set on my 57 Chevy 100 years ago, 4 speed with a posi behind a brand new bought by me from GM 330 hp 350, and I did burnouts like it was my job.
Those tires never wore down and gave a smooth ride.

I had Dunlap GT Qualifiers on my Corvette when I bought it. They were from 1993 and still looked new,no cracking or dry rot. I replaced them with Cooper Cobras,just because they were so old. I cannot have a tire explode or fail on a fiberglass car.

15x8 magnum 500’s all the way around in my ‘68. 245’s front, 275’s rear. The best choice is what YOU like. Opinions are like ….well, you know.
