I think this is the ultimate day2 look and it's exactly how I did it back in the day. Either blackened steelies or chrome reverse out back and cragars or torque thrusts up front. I did this on a few cars and get a mixed review from strangers.....some ask why, or "can't you afford new wheels" or they just simply stare in appreciations.

Black steelies are the current idea, large C6 brakes will negate 15s.

Car won’t be as low as example in photo

Another vote for chrome steel / chrome reverse wheels. That's what I'm running on my '65 Nova. Here's a picture I took this spring.



Maybe try chrome steel wheels and whitewalls up front and black wheels with pie crust slicks in the back.

I would have loved a set of Cragar SST's back in the day. can't find any now, would be happy with just two. I have a line on four Ansen Sprints but they might wind up on Mike's Nova leaving me still looking. I definitely DO NOT want any look-a-like UNiLug wheels.

Thanks! I was trying for a mid-60s period look, and wanted something a bit different from cragar S/S wheels or torq-thrust style. I started looking through old magazines / photos, and realized that up until about 1968-1969, whitewalls and chrome reverse wheels were very popular. I wasn't sure at first, but now I am very happy with the &quot;look&quot;. Car is a 327, Muncie M20, 3.36 posi - white w/ red bench seat interior.

The best part is, Wheel Vintiques has these wheels available new in a wide range of sizes / backspace, and they are very affordable.
