Any day-2 wheel choices on a 1969 Chevelle ought to include Torque Thrusts...

My personal favourite day-2 wheels on a 1969 Chevelle are aluminum slots like these Ansen Sprints... 15x8 on the back and 15x7 on the front.

Then again, no Day-2 wheel conversation would be complete without including Cragars!

----I have a set of early Torque Thrusts 14x7 on 4-3/4. The best set I have had in a long time. Complete with new lugs and new correct hole center caps. The beads are polished and the center is painted with Corvette KO paint. Nearly perfect for $800.00 if you are interested. Will bring them to MCACN in Nov. otherwise or deliver them there. Can send pics!....Bill S

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t throw in a vote for something slightly different. I’m feeling American S200 Daisies because I don’t see enough of them in the world and to be frank . . . I’m Torque Thrust’ed out lately.

Default wheel choices...

Steel or chrome reverse out back...Cragars in the front.

Also need to add that the 'stance' is as important as the wheels...when you nail the stance and the wheel/tire selection...then you really have it.

Are 15x8 Corvette Ralley's not a day II mod? Always loved those wheels on A-Body cars. Cragars would be my 2nd choice.

I am thinking 200s or Torque thrusts. Found a cool set of Stahl headers old school!
