Default Which Intro wheel for my 69 Camaro

I'm down to these two...on my car www.mcspeed.com





I have to pull the 9" and have it shortened by 5" - in 2004 I had it built and widened to accomodate the C5 rear wheels without spacers. The Vette wheels do nothing for this car...Just need to pick out the right set.

I like the first one...it's tough a call though.

you can pull up dozens of pictures at www.mcspeed.com

The car has been finished since 2005. I finally going back and tweaking on somethings I glossed over at the time - like the wheels, seats, and other minor details.

I really thought i wanted a five spoke. but that first wheel is killer looking.

What size wheels? That top one could get a little busy in a small wheel. I still like a 5 spoke but not that one some much. Little street rod to me, but that's my pick.

A classic 5-spoke design will always be timeless...but you're right,that one is screaming street rod to me too.
