In case anyone is wondering this is photoshop work not 2 different pictures. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Thanks for the votes thus far. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

I can't vote--they both look great.

TT's: 15x6 front, 15x8 back. Paint spokes silver. (Anything but the gray factory paint.)

S/S's: 15x4 front with L78 tires. 15x8 rear with Pos-A-Traction Torque Twister L50's. Oh yeah, you can't get those anymore. Rats!

You have a tough decision all right! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Torq thrusts are winning so far. Your right it is a tough decision. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Dare to be different. 1/2 and 1/2 TT's on passenger side and SS's on Drivers side. Can only see one side of the car at a time anyway https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Mr Hawaiian: This is going to sound dumb, BUTT arround about 1968 we useto run split sets of wheels. I ran Keystones on the front and cragers on the back. Don't ask me why it just something we did. Neet ,cool whatever.

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

People still do split the front and backs.

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Oh boy, It's all going down hill now.

Joe the rallys aren't going anywhere. Just wanted to do something different. Plus I think a set of mags will look nice doing down the track. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Wait...I placed a vote for which wheel to Not use,not which looks better. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

[/ QUOTE ] Just put a set of repro F70's on the front Goodyear (RWL) and a vintage almost NOS set of L60 Goodyear GT's (RWL) on the rear. Mounted them on rally wheels. Joe they look great. Good idea you had! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Torque thrust's!!! I have then on my 69 COPO Clone. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Hey come on! I want a set of wheels that will look good when I am blasting the Yes Album out the windows. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Both look good Darren, but if you go with the Cragars, you need to turn the white letters in and show the blackwalls https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I agree a set of torq thrust mags would look cool, but not a set of "out of the box" ones from Summit Racing. Find a set of vintage 5 spokes with the "old school" spoke and lip design, and forget the BFG's. Bias-ply is the only way to fly! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

True but those are pretty hard to find. I wanted them and could not find any good one worth trying to restore. Maybe i was looking in the wrong places. I bought the new American racing ones. They still look good! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Darren dare to be even more different! Get some Ansen Slots! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Yeah, Yeah I know that is too radical for most here. If I were gonna choose between the two I would say for sure go with the Cragers. I would bet that more cars actually ran with them back in the day vs. the TT's.

Oh yeah!! Joey is right.....DO NOT put them BFG's back on that car if you are doin' a wheel swap! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Frankie would put Cragars on his wife's Camry if they made the proper adapters.

Isnt it a bit hard getting a turn-table to play without skipping driving down the road, let alone having to drag along a long extension cord to keep it powered up https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

LOL https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Joey please don't hate just because I love Cragers! You love TT's just as much! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif A never ending battle between you and I! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

D, Joey was right! I love the Cragers so much that I bought them for pops 2001 Camaro SS! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Yeah! Slot mags! I hadn't thought of that. Yep, surf eBay for a few weeks and score some big-n-little slots. I'm still thinking 4-inch fronts and 8-inch rears. Bias plys all around. Suddenly it's 1975!

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

I have to get some prints of some slides. This car had slots on it when we bought it.

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Darren ole boy, Be crazy like me and have at LEAST 3 different tire and wheel combos. No matter what they say the tried and true Cragar SS is #1 on the list. Then the TT's, Slots, and Rallys. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

If you put the Torque Thrusts on paint the centers and they will look much better. How about Minilites? I think they look great too and you never see them.

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

I think the TT's look awesomely https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif on the car! Leave them the way they are...less hassle with cleaning, too!

Make sure you post some more pictures of your car, once you get the engine back together!

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Torq Thrusts pulling away. Unless we have people from Florida voting to. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Darren,

I agree with Joe Barr...The TT`s will win this pole. Thanks to Darren and Sam I will have a complete set at my door step next week. You guys ROCK!

Dan.

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
 

Is there a write-in space for slots on the ballot...if not, I'll vote slots...still

THAT'S IT! Why settle for one set??? Pure genious! One set of each. With Rallys too that's four sets. Slots, Cragars, TTs, and Rallys. The possibilities are endless. How about 15x3.5 and 8.5 Centerlines too for a Car Craft Street Machine Nationals 1980 look?

Stop the vote. Your decision has been made.

Umm, Bill...those would have to be Polished Centerlines! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Well guys, We have to nurse Darren a little slower than normal. He is starting to catch on though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif Did tell me he was going to put a powerglide in his Z just to race Marlin!

I was thinking the standard satin finish. Okay, so one set satin and one set polished makes (One, two, three, four...) uhhh, SIX sets of wheels. Darren, you need to borrow against your house buddy. One, to buy the wheels, and two, to build an addition on your garage to store them.

Can't wait to see pictures!

Maybe Belair can set up a Pay Pal link for your wheel fund. I'm in for a buck. Okay, TWO bucks. If all 2,000-plus members pony up you'll be in wheels in no time.
