Look in the past feature cars...there is a handsome black 427 Chevelle there with 1970 TT T-70 wheels and redline radials...8 1/2 rear...7 front.

i agree, vintage torq thrusts are far from belly button wheels...Straight spoke torq thrusts are tuff to beat IMO. If you DO find a set of old ones, be careful with 14's if you have disc brakes up front... I have had several sets that would not clear the front caliper brackets. Here's a close-up example of a straight spoke, "old school" torq thrust... too cool! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] https://www.yenko.net/attachments/55116-mags2.jpg

Ed, you are Correct!! I think this picture is from the Chevelle Convention in Shamberg, Ill. The Chevelles need deep dish wheels because of their big fender wells. Nice Picture. Mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] <font color="blue"> </font>

Me too. TT's are great, especially the vintage ones but it's hard to beat steelies and dishes on Black.

That does look tough...I saw Charley scarf up all those white fans at Vettefest a few years back.
