  2. The right wheels and no white letter tires - A huge improvement! HRP
     

  3. Those other things looked like they belong on a Toyota or Nissan 4x4 truck.
    Truly ugly redneck rims.
    Glad you did the switcharoo.
    Now leave those old thing at the curb and see who's got no taste and scoops them up.

    Nice car, Now it has "the look" :D
     
  10. I like Cragars. You can never go wrong with the classics.

    But when I was hatched from my shell, the first thing I spotted was a set of Torq Thrusts with the flat gray spokes and the polished rims.
    I immediately bonded to 'em like a baby duck to its momma. I don't recall the car but the wheels forever live in my fantasies.

  16. And all is right in the world again.....
    Those ugly wheels need to go into a furnace, melt em down and turn em into finned alloy speed parts.
    It'd be a crime to let someone else run em.

    A tremendous improvement.

    Those original wheels need to be thrown back into the fires of Mount Mullet from which they were forged.

    Boy, you and i must have been hatched out of the same kind of shell! As you can see from my avatar, i put old Torq Thrusts i found on Craigslist immediately on my '55 truck.

    But the Cragars look excellent as well. VERY nice, huge congrats. Makes the car look so much better.
     
  22. The car looks good, too.
    A great lookin' car with great lookin' wheels and all is right with the world again.
