  4. Original granny caps are the only proper way to dress your car, all other choices are uncivilized.

    Torque thrusts are definitely bad ass for sure, but has anyone checked out TEAM III WHEELS ? They are re-making E/T mags, and the classic 5 is AWESOME. I'm eventually gonna put the classic 5 on the back and the gasser on the front for that 60's race car vibe.

    I like the TT, but then again that is me. The Cragars tend to flake the chrome after a while, and then they look a bit tacky.

    I vote TT's. Just picked up 2 for my car, now need to find 2 more in either 14 or 15 inch, prefer to go with the 14's but will go with what I can get.

    I have always liked the American Racing 200s (Daisy) wheels to the tune of 3 1/2 sets! My '01 F150 has them in the summer, my Maverick has them and I have a set for older full size Ford trucks I should sell.

    I like Magnum 500's for our cars. Thats what im gonna put on when the time comes. I also do like the Slot Mags and TT's tho. I voted TT's tho cuz I cant vote for the 500's or the Slots.

    TT"s are my favorite for my car. I think it depends on the car and the look you are after. Go retro! :yahoo:

    Magnum 500s with trim rings. That what I had on my first Comet 40 years ago and that's what I'll be adding to the one I am restoring. :yup:
