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"
