    Hey! Guys,
    A Newbie here. I need help with some suggestions. I am thinking about changing the wheels on my vicky. I am thinking about ET g***ers on the front but I can't decide on the back between chrome reverse and cragar S/S. Will eventually have cheater slicks on back later on. So what do you suggest?

  4. That thing's pretty cool as is! I like the wild paintjob! Those wheels look a little like Radirs. Radirs might look slightly better.

    I'm not too crazy about the Crager SS idea though.

    Hey what about torque thrust wheels. They look really nice with both wheels having cast centres.

    Hey! Guys, Thanks for the suggestions. I'm leaning to the ET Dragmasters now.

  13. The back set on chrome reverse may make the view from the rear bad. Depends on what is important to you. I'm doing about the same thing as you. My truck is about 1964 and I'm leaning towards torque thrust d's.
     
  14. Personal opinion: Chrome reverse in back-- It just looks right with slicks.
