Hope this helps.
And special order tyres too. Not cheap!!!

You can always get a square deal.

I had a set of 15x8 steels for my car and ended up selling them as i was treated the same way as Jesus was on Good Friday for merely suggesting.

Nowt wrong with steelies, I had them on the Daytona, and my '68 R/T; and the '69 Coronet. Proper old school

I think I've decided on steels (again). Tinted windows look good on restored beauties like yours Brutus but they look a bit ghetto on something dinged to hell like mine.

Your can has a somewhat different "look" to it though Clive.

Adam is talking about Cragar Black Window steel wheels,
as fitted to the Dukerich Charger.

Much better looking than standard black steels which look like space saver spares to me.

TTD's for alloy

Crager Black Windows for steels

Black wall tyres ( No white letters )

Ahh I see. Those NASCAR style black rims like Rich Scott's 69.

Now I've seen Nick's photoshops, I've leaning towards the Magnums!

Personally I would have gone with the Magnums as well. In a 15 inch size of course. And looking tatty. That way the car looks more original. You can get them from Wheel Vintques (or whatever they are called) in wider than stock widths.
