    I am not so sure I like the list of choices for the survey; but thats purely personal.

    We are currently running Cragar SST's on my son's 72 Grabber clone. While not my favorite, they are very period correct for a mid 70's(ish) street-strip ride; which is exactly what we were wanting to acheive.

    On mavericks and comets, I still think aluminum slots are the best looking wheel.

    Second, to me, would be the Keystone Classic style wheels. The Magnum 500's give the same sort of look. While not identical, the overall presence is similar.

    Thirdly, to me, is the Torque thrust and Cragar SS style wheels (and similarly the AK200's or Daisy's, as you describe) look darn fine. as do drag-lites

    As far as modern wheels, I think its very easy to go overboard. the larger diameters can hurt the stance, and the many of the flatter fronts (late model stang torque thrust style wheels) really take away something. But these are personal preferences, not everyone wants what I want, etc etc.
