Asking your opinion; best wheel package for a 1970 Super Bee

[Coelacanth]

Got any pics?

Not installed on my car yet, Grendel is still in body & paint. But here's what they look like, nicely polished aluminum. They're a nice modern take on a vintage classic wheel, and fortunately a lot less common than all the 5-spoke designs. You can't choose 15 x 9 on the company website, but the vendor I bought from said they could be custom machined and ordered them for me.

INDY

EDIT: I bought these from Wheelrack.ca. The custom machined 15 x 9's were only $12 more per pair than the 15 x 8's. Wheels were about $250-ish each (CAD).

On a Challenger:

I always like it when the wheels compliment the lines of the body. I'm going with Keystone Klassics on my 66 Satellite, the sharp lines suit the sharp lines of the body, and you see them less than Magnum 500s or Cragars. Since there were no Magnum or rally wheels in 66, I'm going with something day two looking. Plus, Keystones were on a lot of drag cars back in the day.
For a 68 up Super Bee I like the look of Cragar S/S. They look right with the lines of the car, and the bright chrome compliments the bumpers etc. Back in the day in my town, they were the most popular.
Torq-thrusts are cool on the right car - Challengers and Cudas, Mustangs, Corvettes etc., they look kinda road-racy. I don't like them on a larger car, and the alloy doesn't look good on a car with chrome trim. I have a set on my 66 Mustang fastback, they look just right.
Aluminum slots or even Hurricanes have an unusual cool vintage look. I'm told my car had Hurricanes on it back in the day. The slots are super easy to clean, Cragar S/S a pain in the butt. A long time ago I had a friend who got rid of his Cragars in favor of the slots for that reason.
Not a fan of the dog dish look or no hubcaps unless you want a sleeper look. Personally, I want a little flash.

Who needs flash.

I prefer the term.

Halibrands or some other nice polished slots
are always great on these vintage MoPars

the ones on my 68 RR, are actually from Edelbrock

I hate non-follow up posts so here we go;
Decided on the wheels a while ago... was just waiting for some extra money to buy them.
This isn't the cheapest hobby on a pension... lol
Anyways, I want to keep the old school look so I went with these;
15x8 (4.5bs) all around 255/ 60 and 275/60 tires... RWL in.
Keeping the steelies.

I like steelies, but imo, the gray torque thrust are a huge improvement! My favorite wheel! Man, those look GOOD!
I had a custom pair of gray tt2's built a few years ago, 15x12.

Congratulations on the new wheels, they look great! We got a set on our car too.

Looks great. I like the look of most any 5 spoke wheels, Cragar S/S, Daisy S200, Torque Thrust, etc. I just picked up some Torque Thrusts myself.

Simple one piece wheel, balances easy, blackwall tires, fits the era.

I think the new combo makes the car pop. Nice looking combo.
