Nailed it. Wheels shouldn't out shine the car. They should complement the car.
On his car, I think SS's look great. 66 Charger and Coronets too, though the original caps on a Charger are sharp.I’m a big Cragar SS man - but acknowledge they’re not for every car. You chose what
you liked and that’s good enough and all that’s necessary.
No trim rings either. It has to have lug nuts and chrome doesn't add weight, but hubcaps and trim rings do, and they add to the sale price. Those cars were all about going the fastest on the leastest.I wouldn’t thimk I’d say this but - only one car ever seemed to be ok with the steelies and that
was the Six Pack Super Bee. Chrome lugs and looked pretty good on that one car only.
I don't know, looks pretty badass with the steelies too.I know the feeling, and it's a beautiful thing!!!!

Steelies are okay on some cars but I'm not really a fan of them.
This! The new wheels look great!I don’t understand the appeal of the plain steel wheel with or without a hubcap.
To me, every car looks better with a Rallye, Magnum or aftermarket wheel EXCEPT nostalgia drag race cars.
They belong on Police cars and taxi cabs! People who actually ordered these had their day two wheels ready to install, and their dogs were eating out of them the next day.It just makes it look like a sleeper car, and there's nut'in wrong with that!
The top photo would be better with black wheels and poverty cap vs the bottom photo imo.....the 2nd photo just doesn't look right to me on a van.I know the feeling, and it's a beautiful thing!!!!
