  6. It's just my opinion but I have to side with II funny, chopt55bc, and need louvers on this one. The "new" spoke rim looks like someone opened a catalog said said i'll use this axle kit, and the spun aluminum tank with fake fuel lines and oh yea these "g***er" front wheels. They didn't do it back then. Besides until the late 60's you had to have front brakes on a g***er and the original spoke wheels were spindle mount, no brakes. Even if you go with "new" production wheels there are more accurate choices. Team III E-T makes an aluminum five spoke that is very close to the magnesium American Racing, and there is the aluminum copys of Halibrands from a few companies in either the kidney bean or the sprint style. Again it's just an opinion but I would think those wheels you said you like would cheapen the look of a bad *** car.

  8. These wheels aren't bad looking at all to me.
    60s period correct they aren't, but that's not the wheels fault.
