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.

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 :thumbright:

Crager Black Windows for steels :thumbright:

Black wall tyres ( No white letters )

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

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.
