I love steel wheels.

Even with white wall tires or raised white letters if the car came that way.

Deviate from stock, then black walls rule the day.

Oddly enough, I have a 1970 Valiant 4-door with steel wheels, dog dish caps & it is coded for black wall tires. It is my favorite car for a reason.

I think ACUDANUT has a pic of his on here somewhere.

Steel rims looks like you ran out of money. Period.

And some guys have beautiful wives and some have....

Everyone's tastes are different. Period.

I thought I once saw a picture of ACUDANUT's cars Weren't they 2 72 SEs cloned into Rallyes? I believe the picture was posted by another member. I'd also love to see more pics. But I bet we won't, seeing how he's so quick to bash everyone else's cars.

You guys are doing it wrong.  You need to start a poll to see who all is interested in seeing his cars before he post them up. :icon_smile_tongue:

I think it looks badass the way it is- black wall out. I usually like RWL tires but I really think (along with others) that it would take away from the look on this car.

My personal choice would be WHITE OUT... The RWL give the meat an aggressive look.

I also love the steel cop car wheels, but think your back wheels should be 10" wide. I sold tires and wheels in my shops and every tire manufacturer recommends that the wheel width be as wide as the tread. General rule of thumb.

i recently saw a set on a Road Runner, 68 or 9, that painted or powder coated the wheels the same color as the car and added the punched cop car caps as well... It might sound hideous but it looked really great.. Another set close to the same, had a red stripe around the outer face of the caps... That looked good too.. May have been a stock look, but you could tell it was fresh..

As far as price on cop car wheels, I sold a set of 4) 7" cop wheels off an 85' with caps for $375 bucks.. They were not even cleaned up, let alone pretty....  If anyone wants to sell me their cop car wheels for $5.00 PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!  lol.... ;)

RWL OUT in my book....

I personally think muscle cars look tougher with the white writing. Black walls just looks naked. I mean, put a pair of nice pants on, and forget to put the belt on. Does it work? Sure, but it looks like something is missing. Soon you add the belt, it looks complete. To me that is the same thing with black wall tires on muscle cars. It is incomplete.

Wheels are not too bad, but, if you wanted a tougher look... Cragar SS, or Torque Thrust D's. I always find those cop wheels kinda strange.

But, having said that, maybe cop wheels with white writing would be a clash. Since the wheels look weird to begin with, the black walls might suit them more  :shruggy:

I don't bash peoples cars.  Only the wheels.  SE's cloned into Rallyes?   Sounds like you have 72 Rallye envy.

Anyway, Your car. Your way.  :cheers:

Oh you.  You little wheel basher.  Just going around bashing wheels and leaving no comment on the rest of the car, leaving people to wonder "is my car total crap or just the wheels?".   :lol:

Wheels in one thread, color of the car in another.   I suppose it'll be color of the wheels in the next build thread?  ;)

No, my '72 GA4 Gunmetal 400HP 4 speed Rallye keeps my envy at bay.....but 440 4 speeds...that's another story.
