    Gray, not a fan of the bling.  The gray center is a classic look that will never go out of style.

    While Cragars are similar, they're unique and gots to be shiney chrome. A true classic wheel.

    I'm with BBII on the wheels on BBI's car. With the color the whole thing just seems to stand out. I'd like gray for your car but not big wheels and skinny tires. Butt..this is just mine opinion, don't be letting me tell you what to do.

    Re: Wheel poll

    The grey center Torq-Thrust wheels came out around 1968-1971 ish, right when I had my 67 fastback. I had to have a set, and I kinda remember they cost about $175 each. That was a lot of money back then. I knew when I bought my 67 convert I had to have those same wheels, and in 2004 I bought a bought a set and paid $174 each. Go figure...

    It's easier to add horsepower than it is to lose weight.

    They must have been out by '68, because the cars in Bullitt had them.

    I like the knock offs.  I have them on my '67 (different wheels though, mine are more of a Hallibrand look from Vintage Wheel Works, the V60).

    We all seem to be stuck in the 60’s theme.  Of course, some stuck worse than others!

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
