Default Wheels . . . . ?

I am looking for an opinion about wheels. I am looking to put driving tires on my 1970 Camaro. The fight has come down to the following.

In the right corner the Keystone Klassic -- In the left corner the Cragar S/S Series 61.

What would look better with redline tires?

Just my opinion, but I can't see redlines on a '70. I'd put Cragar SS wheels and blackwalls if it were my car [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Personally I like the Keystone's better, put them on my modified 69 RS/SS I did up a few years ago. However, that was with white lettered tires. With the redlines the Cragars might look better. That's my $.02 for you to consider [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Keystones-with a sport white/wall

Cragars --with red stripe or blackwall

[ IMO ]

Well, if that's the 2 to choose from for wheels, I'd pick the Keystone's (a lot less common). Maybe do a day 2 look w/ some Indy Profile tires on wide wheels in the rear? IMHO, I like the combo on the attached pic....similar to this months feature car. I'd also have to agree w/ Zedder, I don't think the redlines would look right. Post some pics when you add the new stuff.

My $.02

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] Cragars are over used a little bit, not as much lately but still TT "D"s are seen less. key stones, I'm not sure I've ever seen them on a car around here. But then again I'm still a young'n [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] Do what makes you happy, its YOUR car!

Cragars used more than TT??? Have you been to any shows in the last 5 years? TT are used 50 to 1 over Cragars.

I have to agree with Whitetop on this one. I seldom see Cragars any more. I think we all like the wheels that were popular during our youth. In the mid '70's, Cragars and blackwalls were the thing to have and next to factory wheels they are my all-time favorite [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] Not many cars had TT wheels at that time, so I really can't relate to them all that much personally...
