Opinion on a change to my wheels?

For the road race look either the factory steel wheel in black with the long studs and open end lug nuts or the gray spoke A/R TTs with no center caps. The Rally Wheel looks the best in it's stock configuration IMCO.

For wheels, another option
There's something about running black steelies which I did at the Pure Stocks. Kind of a throwback of when the drag strips required you to remove your hubcaps as they could become missiles into the crowd.
Here's a few pics taken a few years ago of me at the strip and also the result of hitting the guard rail one year (water pump seals blew out at 90 mph)...an awe s**t moment.

Battling!
That's Donny Brass on the left, me on the right, what a BLAST!
My "ouch"...could've been a lot worse:
Sheared that bumper bolt right off creased the leading edge of the bumper.
'Nuther view...
2004 Pure Stocks - Donny Brass on left & me...what a blast!
This one was taken early in the morning. I really like this one...kinda' sinister
Just another look on wheels.

Here's a few I've had on mine. Even some Rally's!! I liked the US mag Rambler 111's but later swapped to the Ridlers for some bling.

First choice...knockoff wheels, either bolt on or real knockoffs
Second choice...silver rallys with trim rings and regular center caps. A timeless look.
Never a choice...TThrust of any variety. Not a big fan.
I have a 65 coupe which came with brand new TT. I went down the rally wheel path but in the end decided to pull the trigger on Corvette America bolt on knockoffs and BFG red line tires. My coupe is white with factory side pipes. The knockoffs finish it off nicely.

Black steel wheels look great! Rallys not so much. Guys love the Americans and the main reason you see them so often is they fit without a spacer...But honestly...so common now it's just nor as cool. Cragar SS look great but you need spacers...
63-4 Knock off look super too! 65-7 KO not so much.
Here is a cheap good looking wheel 'Cragar Eliminators' I want a set of those!

I like this the best.
With the spinner caps or with the stock center caps.
