    I think Cragars and TQ-ds' both have the classic look some of us lean towards.All though Cragars do hide the drums better if you havent done a disc swap yet.(like me) I have steelies with baby moons and trim rings on mine for now.

    I used cragers because torq thrust d were on back order everywhere for months. I got them thru summit from vintiques and they were pretty good but the paint could have been a little neater. I wanted steel with dog dish but with a wide wheel it was a major pain and was going to cost about the same . I still held on to my stocker 14" merc hubs and dog dishes thoughh.

    Magnum 500s are damned good looking.
    I neglected to include them or the slotted mags for some reason.

    I will be scoring a set of slotted mags and tires here soon on the cheap hopefully.

    I have Cragar S/S on one, American Racing "Daisy" wheels on one, and Magnum 500's on another. I guess that means I practice "diveristy" when it comes to wheels.

    I vote for Torq Thrusts, the ones that look sharp! Not the TT II.
