The "Grump's Group" Camaro is a neat. Most of the old school stuff like the Cragar and such are modern wheels, but they have the old school feel. I don't want to be too down on the "vintage" parts but the over-all theme is good.

I can't decide if I like this look or not. Old Mickey Thompson Sportsman 29X12.5-15 on American 8.5 x 15 T-70. Both wheels and tires need a major cleanup. Any opinions?

Looks GOOD&gt; are you running the Same type of rims in Front? From what I see in OLD magazines a LOT of the FASTER cars had missmatched rims&gt;Your car with those Rims in back looks more WESTCOAST style- eastcoast cars usually ran cragars or keystones..Either way it makes you Car look COOL!I like that look-Mudflaps IF you can find them are PERIOD Perfect..

Thank's for the replies. I think Sam told me what I wanted to hear. The black car needs some chrome. I am going stick with the Cragar's currently on the black car. The T-70's with the M/T's I am going to restore and put on the blue Camaro. The Torq Thrust style works best for me on a lighter color.

Sounds like a good plan to me! I know back 40 years ago or so when I went to change over to mags on my 69 nova, my parents said come on Sammy that dark blue nova you have needs a little chrome. I Can still hear my dad saying those kind of things. Needless to say I went with the Cragars and the H70 Schenuits on the back. I will never forget those days.
