OT Wheels: What are your favorites?

I have owned a lot of muscle cars, and I have struggled a few times with tires/wheels for them. In my opinion though nothing beats factory rally wheels. Some of the examples above are great wheels for pro street, and mods but muscle cars look best with factory shoes IMHO.

Submitted for your consideration,
My last Camaro I had, on 17" ET 5 spokes and TA's as originally built.

And the same car on factory SS (Super Sport) rally wheels and RWL TA's. This was the look I preferred, and it rode nicer on bigger sidewalls. The buyer got both sets to choose from.

Here is the Olds on TT's and widened 10" corvette rallies wearing DOT M/T Drag tires. Menacing. This was her racing trim when I drag raced it on Wednesday nights.

And as she sits now on SS1's (Styled Steel wheels) and TA's. I had SS2's originally but they were 14" and I didn't really care for them. I did widen the rears to 10" because these cars have such huge wheelhouses, they cry to be filled with tires.

To my eye, the factories back then produced some of the nicest wheels on the streets. Cragars are kewl (the old ones with the round spokes) but I don't think they can beat the SS1's on my ragtop. The Olds is still menacing, it may not have decals and drag tires but muscle cars didn't need them to tear you a new one on the street.

If it had a blower sticking through the bonnet, the factory wheels would look out of place. But then again, that isn't a muscle car any longer, IMHO.

And that LT-1 peaking out of the garage above? Rallies, redlines and flat caps. Back when the factories go it right!

 

Redlines even....

 

I had them on the Olds at one point too, but the damn car shredded them. There is still one in the trunk as a spare mounted to a SS1. I am talking notches of rubber torn out of the rear tires. I don't recall the brand, but they didn't last long. The Vettes redlines were TA's that I had shaved and red lines vulcanized on. Those were good tires. I miss that car.

 

I always like these Western Wheels. if someone gave me a set of 15 X 8's I'd put them on my 1998 Blazer

 

Another vote for 200S Daisy Mags.
Are they even being manufactured anymore?

 

I think Discontinued in the early 2000?

 

I like slot mags. My 5th grade science teacher had a Jeep with slot mags like this one.


I had a Ranchero with slot mags on it.


Hell, I even bought a wore out Pinto because it had slot mags and B.F.Goodrich T/A radials on it!

 

Aluminum slots first, centerline auto drag second....

 

Minilites for the win!!! Aint that the truth

 

Cool ride

 

Always love the original torque thrusts. But liked the 8 holes I had on the cab over too.

 

They've started making them again, but they're ungodly expensive, like 400 bucks apiece. From the time they first came out in the late 60's up until they were discontinued, they were always priced about the same as a Torq Thrust D of the same diameter and width. Don't know what's made them so valuable now.

 

PERFECTION! HRP

 

I kept thinking there had to be something I could contribute here. *Light bulb moment!
Motor Wheel Spyders are OT, rare and cool IMHO.

 

The look cool on Plymouth Dusters also....

 

Those draglites always reminded me of communion trays at church
Being a child of the 80s-90s and everything being IMSA Ford related I grew up loving the BBS honeycomb style wheels. I even had a Lincoln Mark VII with a set.

 

I have a red '91 5.8L LX sitting in the garage....

 

Wires with knock-offs have always had a special appeal to me.

 

I've got two 13" BBS RA fwd-pattern wheels sitting on a shelf here. Long story about how there came to be only two of them. They're on the shelf because I have no idea what to do with only two really very good 13" German forged alloy wheels. All I can think is some kind of weird sidecar outfit, which I have no intention of building.

 

Pair of end tables for the man cave couch?

 

Supertricks, especially polished 16x13s and 17x2 1/4s...

 

Also, the Keystone K Mags, like in my avatar - made ONLY in 1973, magnesium and incredibly rare...
I've got 4 15x7s (even though the catalog didn't list this size)...for sale...

 

That's sick I like it

 

My friend has one made from a 911 Fuch deep dish it's cool

 

Ended up with some more of one of my favorites yesterday. I haven’t measured the wider ones yet, but guess I have another set of 15x4’s for some upcoming car.

 

Those Fentons? Still nice front runners .

 

Not sure what brand they are. I haven't looked them over too close yet, but didn't see anything on the back side at all on the front runners or the wider ones. The front runners definitely have less backspacing than the ones I put on my Chevelle and they have screw holes for center caps whereas my others don't. Anyway, I'm no expert on all the differences on slots to know which are which.

 

I sold some 4 inch Fentons and the face was the same.shudda kept them

 

Had these in the early 70's, always thought they were Ansen Sprints.
