Default Wheel choice for the '66!

I was originally going to go with:

ICE


But am having second thoughts! Here are a few candidates:

TRIG


GROOVE


HRE 541


They're going on this:



If you have any suggestions please feel free to offer them up as far as a choice of wheel. Also, suggestions on finish would be appreciated too! I originally was going to go with the ICE wheel with a polished hoop and brushed center but I also like the brushed hoop with an anodized center. Not sure what color the car will be!

The ICE looks nice... and it rhymes I am sure you are going to have some real nice rotors and calipers so besides being the most attractive wheel , in my opinion , they will also show off more of the detail in your brake package. Win win

I like HRE - but they are overplayed - The groove is very different and has good styling. I also like the soft lip design of the ''Groove''so the rim has the illusion of being deeper and cleaner looking.

I also like the groove. I was thinking the brushed hoop and top surface of spoke and maybe anodize the inside of the spokes!

If your planning to have the center anodized - then see if you can get them anodized before they are welded together.
