    What wheels did you want to put on everything back in 65-66? Even if it was your mothers 4 door xxxxx. I grew up in south Texas, we were behind the times by a couple of years, by the time we saw something it had passed us by. Looking to put something on my 65 Imperial Crown 4 dr shop car that was "cool" for the times. Cragar SS, Keystone Klassic, Hurst, Torq-Thrust, ???.

    If you were cheap and putting them on your mom's four door, you'd probably order a set of Fentons. They look like Raders but they were two piece and a lot cheaper. Here's a pic of my '57 with Fenton Hawk's on it (also known as flat spokes)

    I remember a chromed reversed wheel seemed to be on everything, sometimes with baby moons, or baby moons on a plain rim

    Chrome reverse with caps or spiders. Or painted "black" wheels with no caps if you were a Racer. Mags if you were a rich kid.
