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.
 
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.

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 know the feeling, and it's a beautiful thing!!!!

On his car, I think SS's look great. 66 Charger and Coronets too, though the original caps on a Charger are sharp.

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.
 
That looks so much better. Steelies are okay on some cars but I'm not really a fan of them.

This! The new wheels look great!
 
The basically stock van looks sharp with 500's. They are an understated wheel that still looks cool. SS's or TT's might be too much on it without custom paint or graphics.
 
It just makes it look like a sleeper car, and there's nut'in wrong with that!
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.
 
The car looks great with the new rims Garceau, nice choice sir!
I must be the odd man out here because I prefer plain steel wheels and dog dish caps on most of my cars. If I look at a car with nice rims my eye is drawn to the rim first, but a car with steel wheels draws me to the car's body, shape of the wheel openings etc. If I do buy aftermarket rims, I like most anything with 5 spokes, its a timeless design that can improve the looks of almost any car or truck that can use a little pizazz.
 
Everyone has the style they like best. Those wheels look great on your car, I like the steelie look. My old RR....
