Wheel Selection time....

[Patch]

Ok....It's getting time to start thinking about wheels. I was dead set on some then I saw some new one's from American Racing. Anyway the Car in question looks like this. Color will be basically like Ford Dark Mineral Grey but in a 'suede' version.

[Patch]

Anyway....I can either go with ol' school Gasser wheels in a Pro Stock stance with these wheels....This first one will be fronts

[Patch]

and rears will be........

[Patch]

or go with these new American Racing one's?


Sorry for not being so "savvy" with the comp I would like to have put everything together but I don't know how.

See? this is the internal conflict that I'm not enjoying! :confused3

Gasser look goes better with suede. Too many Torq Thrusts rolling around these days anyhow. Only Tq Thrusts that look good (to me) are the original ones with the suede spokes (and in a 15", too).

[ls1formy]

i personally like the ARs

[Patch]

I should poll this damn debate.

I can see the thread now........









Get Poled by Patch

[F8LSNAKE]

Can't go wrong either way. I know that didn't help. Hey, get both. Track shoes and cruise shoes.

[qkjuicedpony]

If the car will have any sort of lowered stance then I would go with those

American Racing Trak Stars

[mike460]

I vote for anything but the "gasser" look.

ugh, gassers, bah.

[clemsonstang]

billet specialties street lights.

[Bonz]

I say keep it all the same

go to the track and look at all the cars with different wheels front to rear .....
looks like shit my vote new American Racing one's

[Patch]

Problem is how many 1963 Fairlane's do you see at the track? lol


Guess I need to get a photo of the car from the side and find someone to photoshop the hell out of the wheels to find a good perspective.

[Cory Root]

Do the ARs and it will look killer!

[O&C Racing]

If you're interested I've made a coil-over kit for the front of those cars using QA-1 stuff. Can do both single and double adjustable shocks with a few different spring rates. It's an all bolt in setup. I've got pictures of them installed on a 64 Thunderbolt clone or you can stop by and check them out as the car is still in my shop.

The Trak Stars would look the best IMHO.

[Cory Root]

Q&C is that a LTD or Fairmont in your avatar?

[todds69]

i like the old school wheels,before long trak stars are going to be the new draglite.

[Patch]

YAY!!!!!! ok So I emailed ET Wheels, the makers of the first two wheels, and they said they could cut down the Fueler, my choice for rear tire, down to a
15" X 4" to fit the front and match the rear. So now I can have matching front and rear wheels if I want. But I still don't know what I want.
