Best wheels you've seen on a tri-5??

I thought these worked for a family driver.

 

Cragars look cool. May change out back for chrome reverse

 

Had Moose photoshop these for me.

 

Cragar S/S wheels were specifically made for Tri-5's

 

Few more that I like.

Moriarty, is this also yours??!!

Are there any famous circa early sixties show cars you DONT own??

 

I dig this, as found on the HAMB. Reminds me of the tri-fives I saw growing up as a kid in the sixties...


This was at a local car show about ten years ago, same kind of deal.

 

One of the first threads I responded to when I joined the HAMB was "pick your top five customs" or something like that. The Astorian was one of my picks, the rest I recall were the Jade Idol, Ray Goularts Olds, and Richard Zocchis Pontiac.Cant recall what the fitth one was. I always liked The Alexander Bros cars.

 

My dads 55 with rallys and disc brake caps

 

Old thread I know but I'll throw mine in there for reference. 15" Cragar street pro wheels.

 

...for a low-buck kid in the 60's, these homemade reversed rims were a step up from stock steelies...

 

It's Cragar S/S for me...I really don't like them on pretty much any other car though.

 

Old thread, for sure.
When I was a kid I thought Crager SS was factory equipment on 2 door tri fives, seems like all of them around here had them!
Last year I had a 56 Bel Air HT in the shop for upgrades. Came in with wide whites with stock caps. I put on a set of American Racing Torque Thrush with the grey centers. 15x6 in the front, 16 x8 in the rear. Completely changed the personalty of the car.

 

Cragar's..............................

 

Vintage wheels like old Americans or Halibrands are cooler, but when you consider the cost and the unobtainium factor, Torque Thrust II Americans fill the bill

 

ET III...........................................

 

Magnesium Americans

 

I am with some earlier posts. Halibrands, ETIII`s, TT`s, Aluminum slots and Cragar SS. But my favorite on the Tri Fives has always been Cragar SS.

 

ET Classic V's

 

Cragar S/S. Any thing else is a lie.

 

Chrome reverse big&littles for me. 14x5 and 15x7

Made me laugh, Fred. I like em, but they always peeled. So I went with Americans.

 

My brother ran tri rib M/T on his '57 50 years ago so I am partial to them

 

Ain't nuthin' like the real thang ! :

I'm a mag wheel kind of guy, but if I get a second vote, I'll pick this again, perfection.

 

Chevy rallies on this one because I had them. I always liked satin torq thrust on my 55.
