    Tru Spokes
    Cragar SS's
    Torq Thrusts
    Ralleyes with Caps
    Slot Mags
    Radirs
    American Salt Flats (I like when they're oversized say 18's on all four corners)
    Steelies with your choice of wheel cover..
    or pretty much any 5 spoke mag..

    Black steelies with chrome acorn nuts look so sick....

    But I'm guessing from your post you must have found somethin'...

    here is what I went with 15 X 7 American Racing Torque Thrust "D" . My local Les Scwab gave a sweet deal( purchased Cragar /Unique Supreme for my Merc) My buddy had less 2000 miles on Dean Alpha's running a 205/75-15 frt and 225/75-115 rears. Sorry my pics aren't great very tight in the garage.

    I like what you picked. I've run Tru-Spokes, Red steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps and wide whites, and these vintage ETs (from about 1970) on my Nomad.

    have the caps, ran out of time to put them on. I like the white wall was going with 60's look. Early bird swap here we come !

    i've got some cragars on my 55 sedan, which is almost like saying stock for 55's at one point. just installed some black steel rims in the rear on my 55 hardtop. the hardtop is just a basic rattle bomb with steel rims in the rear, tilt front fibergl*** front clip. i like the look of the hardtop better with the steel rims in the rear. the sedan is cool with the cl***ic cragars, but i'm aiming more for a down and dirty ugly rust bucket for the hardtop, which it is, but with all rebuilt running gear and suspension. 4 speed with a built 350 and gears to wind it up. your basic look like **** run like a beast, i wouldn't say it's a sleeper but it looks like a stripped down piece from the outside and interior. on a nomad...get what cl***ic styling you like, they all look good on trifives. can't beat the cl***ics.
     
  23. Where did you get those mini trim rings?

    You might take a look a ET's website. Very period and not overplayed the way American
    Torq Thrusts are. My favorie year of Nomad, BTW.

    That's the set up that I'm currently running on my Apache. Not sure how it'd look on a Nomad, but works for me!

    Somebody at the LSRU swap was selling them, but I'm pretty sure Ralley America has them. Gary

    I like the "as cast" look on the 5 spokes. The polished ones are overdone. I like the small white wall too.
