carolinacuda OP member C Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 150 South Carolina, United States	Im trying to decide on wheels for my 74 prostreet cuda. Im riding the fence on a set of alum(s)like convo pros, torque thrusts, etc. or an old set of black steelies with dogpans. The car is red with a black hood and black taillight bezel. The rear wheels would be 10' and the front would be 5-6'. The old style would look mean but the new alums would be pretty. He** I cant decide. What do yall like?

The best ones I like are Aluma Star 2.0's from Weld, I just wish they would come in 18" or even 20" size. The Billet Specialty wheels look good also. 18" wheels will look good on your ride. You could do new and old both and change up the look from time to time. Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!

I like them original, magnum 500 and Billet Specialties like those one above..... but.. still very hard to find the perfect ones... 1973 Brasilian Dart E100, boosted 390"

I went with 10" Mopar Cop Rims when I first did my Fury, I love the look of Dog Dishes and Steel...But THEN I also picked up a set of AlumaStars which I monted slicks on and drove to a few car shows with. IMO the flashy rims did draw more people to the car but the steels gave it much more of a sleeper look! Then again modified steelies cost almost as much as some new school stuff! Not sure if this will help or hinder! Good luck Big Anthony ANTHONYinIRAQ@gmail.com 1984 B150 Ram Wagon 1978 D100 ClubCab

Whats cool with wheels is you can get a little creative without ruining the car, wheels are always an easy fix. One of the reasons i also went with an aftermarket wheel was i didn't want to cover up and hide my too much money brakes. 4982535-IMG_0141.JPG (139 downloads) In God we trust, all others pay cash. www.lightnens.com (Home of the world's fastest Paint Job)
