Had some time today. Having recently picked up a few spare tire / wheels sets. So I decided to see the different views how they look before I mount my new tires up

First with an all blackwall tire and stock hubcap. This is my least favorite WAY to much black

Not good odds this is the look I will end up with

Nothing wrong with your wheels :thumbsup: Only other wheels for me would be cragar ss
 
Slightly larger tire in a RWL. I only have the 2 of these that are mounted . But are ancient tires so not to be driven on.
Simply cking to see if I like the look.
I kinda like it, Bot not sure if its the rwl or the larger tires to fill the opening

No arguments.
Im simply wanting to run the OE spinner wheel covers for a while

For what it's worth, the look I would favor for your car would be a blue line with full hubcap, but black wall would be next.
 
Ive seen a twin to my car , Black with red interior, hemi only 4 spd.
She has the blue lines on it. Sorry, NOT a fan IMO they clashed with the red interior and look out of place on the car .
Any other interior and It would be no arguments from me

A friend of mine has a set of 14 inch steel wheels with redlines on it. I may borrow and see how they look on my car

I usually run redlines on chrome magnums. Im simply wantting to run the stock wheel covers for a while.

Cragers are not an option

66 was blue lines, or narrow white walls, either would look good with your spinner caps. I love white letters on a 67, but don't think they do anything for a 66 that still retains the stock trim. JMO.
 
I also vote blue or red with the spinners.
Not black wall and not rwl.
 
I like the thin white walls or black walls with the hubcaps.
 
If you are staying with the wheel covers, I vote for redlines. Rwl would be my second choice.
But I haven't cared for white walls and wheel covers for several decades now.
And I don't care much for chrome wheels either. Imo, too hard to maintain, always seemed to rust in the old days.
Gimme a gray torque thrust on anything.
