JP_AstroMan Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I am once again shopping wheels for the Monte. I'd really like to find something other than ralley this time around. Was hoping for some inspiration from anyone that could post a photo of what they are running. Thanks very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I've been tossing around the idea of using my old T-Type wheels..... They look a lot like the ones on the General Lee, but I'm not sure what colour (if any) I'd paint the inserts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It includes the VIN and month/year of manufacture. ECS can make you a new one if needed (I had one made). I'll dig up a link for them later, when I get home.

TheBMan Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Old school Cragar S/S are period correct and look nice. (Photo is not mine, found it online) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Really depends on your preference for the look you want. These days you may be regulated to what you can find in stock. I was lucky enough my buddy had some old ENKEI wheels "in stock" and I like the look. Years ago American Racing had something similar I had on a blue oval car. IMHO cragars never fail except on blue oval cars 🤣 I'm also a fan of the keystone klassics (still made) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don’t care for them but my 70 and 71 have ralleys so the caps will stay on the Custom for something different. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although right now I have the Corvette style on her. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
