69 superbee.WIP need help deciding on wheels

[Dean23]

Heres some pics of the 69 bee Im working on I cant decide which set of wheels to use.they are both similar. the first are a basic cragar 5 spoke, and the second set are the stock wheels for the kit. help me out please

cragars



stock magnum 500's

i dont think neither of them look good on the car because the wheels are small and the car is like HUGE. you should get some 20 inch 5 fat spoke chrome wheels , and now that will look good

but if your gonna go for a stock look better go with the stock magnum 500's

Go with the stock ones. The look right with the paint job that you have.

Thanks guys. i think im gonna go with the stockers. Just might get some lower profile/ wider rubber for it.

Nah, go with the cragar 5 spoke- they look alot more muscular.

[Dean23]

Hmmm great....I do like them but i think the tires look to small. i dunno....Im so confused

I first want to point out that those are American Racing Torq Thrusts, not Cragar S/S's. A Cragar S/S wheel looks like this.



And ignore AmuseGT1. The slowtouring fad (as in pro touring look poser cars with big inch chrome wheels mounted to stock drum brakes) is passed.

Nothing bigger than 15" and keep to G60 series Goodyear Radials like what came in that Revell kit. They're what's most appropriate for a classic muscle car.

I ended up using the stock wheels. the car is done and all decaled I will have some pics as soon as the freakin rain stops up here. No point in taking indoor pics. It looks way better in the real lite. Thanks for all you opinions, and yes they arent cragars.....I couldnt think of torqthrusts at the time of typing....lol

Stock ones look great IMO.... and for god sake thank you for not putting 20s on it

[Dean23]

i wouldnt dare put 20's on it.......thats for the hondas and other little cars. lol

So, big wheels is a substitute for small engines then?
Looking forward to the finished pics:
