http://www.cragarwheel.com/_img/wheels/large/web_61_15_inch_SS1240452125.jpg LOL I remember I had these on my '70 Chevelle SS Laguna As it should be... I thought the "Laguna" Was a Malibu upgrade after the body change, in 73, or 74? I had a '74 Laguna, White with Maroon interior, and stripes. Also had the Cragar SS wheels. G60 15's on back, and 70's on front. 400 small block. Nice car. |

I've seen very few 50's , 60's and 70's iron that I liked with the low profile tires/wheels .VERY few .
Myself , I'm a fan of solid Centerline rims with the satin finish and 15" tires ......for looks anyways Late 60's-early 70's Mopars look bad-azz with slots |
|
Get both!
I like the 100% factory correct look, period modified cars (Cragars, keystones and Mags) AND the modern evolutions of classics (pro touring look). And I think a lot of the modern builders (like Foose) do some amazing things with muscle cars. |

I think the low profiles would look like shit on my car. http://adw.go-gbs.com/IMG_2375c.jpg http://adw.go-gbs.com/IMG_2376c.jpg They would look better than those. Those wheels were cool on pickups in the 90s. That car needs a real set of tires and wheels, or something period correct. The in between thing just dont work. |

To each his own... I've always preferred a more "period correct" look. When I wanted to upgrade from stock steel wheels, it took a while to find a set of original '73 Mustang slotted aluminum wheels, but I thought it was worth the wait. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c233/73trials/73trials_f.jpg Depends on what you're after, of course. If I really wanted better handling, these probably wouldn't be the way to go. FYI, it WAS worth the wait. Your car looks great with those rims. I'm also amused that you're occupying at least 3 "Harley Parking Only" spots. |

I saw a beautiful 68 camaro today, just pristine, but as I pass it I noticed it has modern 5 star wheels with low profile tires. I just don't get it!?!?!?!? Am I the only one that thinks this is pitiful??????? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Yea it's dumb! Whats wrong with heavy ass stamped steel wheels! While we're at it, whats with the radial tires? Old cars like that deserve OEM skinny bias plys. So what if they slide off the road, it's what the car came with... Loosen up. This. I don't like the big-ass ghetto rims on classic cars, but I think it's dumb to limit your option to Cragars or Centerlines. |

Wouldn't fare too well on the potholes around here though. I like the way it looks, as I have a 1965 Impala SS that I am doing a complete frame off on...

think you are. all us "little po-dunck" thinkers couldnt give a fuck what you think about anything, if you havent caught that drift in the last few weeks. |

The wheels look good, that`s why. Anyway, it`s not like putting a bikini on your 75 year old mom.

I think if it's done properly, it looks awesome. This car, for example, looks great (save for the hood, as mentioned):

That's right Tex. Just like they have local and federal laws that preserve historic homes and trees, they should do that for muscle cars. If the rim was not available from the dealer back in the year the car was made for the special "protected class" of muscle cars lets say years 62-74, it should be banned. This is how I make a better more perfect world through "Big City" thinking. |

more of the "big city bullshit" didnt we (myself and subnet) just establish that my city is by far larger than yours?

Hey Tex, I am trying to do you a favor here. I am just trying to show you a better way of thinking... a better way of life.
By banning eye sores the world is a much better place, just come to Cali and see for yourself how much we have cleaned up. Very few old cars on the road because we have a effective "Cash for Clunkers" program at the state level, only people that can afford to maintain their classics are the ones with them on the road. No more streaks of oil in the middle of the freeways plus our roads are much safer now.

You can't stop "progress" and what I am trying to tell you is you can have your freedom like your little muscle car but it has to have the correct rims on it. You can have your little house but you cant have an old couch in your front yard or trash piled up in the back along with a bunch of junk cars.
I am trying to do you a favor by extending you an olive branch because when I am gone the others wont be so patient or as nice as me and they will force progress on you. It may not be today or tomorrow but it will be soon, just learn to embrace progress dont try to fight it. You are only making the rest of US look bad. It's a "Big City" world and it would be nice of you and some of your other fellow Texans to saddle on up and join us here in the 21st century. There is a hell of a view on this high horse, you should see it. |

Some people actually drive their cars, not just sit in front of them at car shows... big brakes and wide tires need big(relatively) wheels.
