I vote black steelies in back and torque thrust d up front. That's what is on my wagon. Anything period correct is cool though. Early 60' s drag look is cool.
 
It can depend on the look you want. Myself I wanted the 60's Superstock look so I went with the Torque Thrust's up front and the steelies out back as I love that look. But for a more factory look I also like the steelies with the dog dish hubcaps. And for the more street look aftermarket wheels like Cragers or a more modern wheel like Pro Stars can look good also.

But I do love this look. And this is all stock wheelwells with 30 x 9 Hoosier radial slicks in the rear on 15 x 8 wheels in the rear which are 15" rims. And I have 225/70-15's up front on 15 x 6 Torque Thrusts. Ron

I really like the look with the steel wheels, but think the black wheels are nicer than the white wheels.
 
Hard to find but a similar wheel, American 200S

I think the steelys look the best, maybe a set of American racing salt flats in black or gray , I personally like to pro Turing look on the cars I'm a fan of boss 338's take a look you might like them not shure if they come in 15" though I ran 18"x7" and 18"x9" on my last build (73 charger) and everyone who saw it was stund by the wheels it looked cool
Good luck on your choice
 
Myself, I like the old school Cragar SS look.

What size tires you running front and back? I'm going with the same rims and was thinking 225/70/15 on the front and 275/60/15 on the back.
those are 235-70's. a 275-60 in the back will require an 8" wheel with a 4.5" back space. the 8.5" wheel with 3 .75" backspace won't fit. 225-70 up front would be a good fit.
 
What is the color of your car, sometimes different wheels compliment different colors. My black '63 with black steelys and then with Cragar SS.
All front wheels are 15x7 4 1/8" BS with 215/75, rear wheels are 15x7 4 1/2" BS with 285/70.

I bought the torque thrust rims already, rear is an 8" with 4.5" BS and going with SS springs, so the 275-60s will be good. Front I went with the 7", and I was thinking about going with the 235 but wasn't sure. Looks like I will end up going with your stance. Thanks. Looks GREAT!
 
These are Torque Thrust Ds on the front with cop wheels on the back. When I paint the car back to it's original dark turquoise metallic, I plan to go to regular steel wheels on the back painted to match the body. Or maybe even body color painted steelies all the way around.

There is always Weld wheels. They are a little pricey though

If you're looking for shiny here's a couple of pics to consider. The Dodge had Weld Draglites on it and the other ones are Billet Street Lites, which are going onto my Belvedere.
