Default Opinion: What wheels look best on a nova?

Trying to decide what wheels look best on an L78 Nova? Cragers, Torque thrusts? Not big on the small hub cap look.

Thanks,

sean

I'm a dog dish fan myself,but sense you don't like that look i would go with the Torque thrusts.

Tire size also plays a role in this choice, especially if you are running some big ones on the back. The original style TTO's don't have a lot of back spacing so tire size can be a problem. The newer wheels have almost unliited choices for you....no one has mentioned rallyes....they can look good too. Post some pics of the car and what tires you are going to use (black wall, raised white letters, redlines, etc.)

It is just like your fathom blue car. Has 15" redlines with the small caps.

Sean, E-70 x 14 was the stock tire size for the SS Nova...15" looks better...more stance. What size tire are you running now..??? I think something like an F-70 x 15 on the front and G or H on the back would look good. We have that setup on our 70 Black L78 Auto.
