    There is many kinds of wheels some look good some look better and some are the best to each his own but i do not like great big rims on lots of cars they look funny to me and the ride is made bad sometimes.

    Torq-Thrust all the way. If you look at the above photos two of them are T-T knock-offs. Cragers’ come second. You can probably see where my restoration preferences are.
