Wheel Evolution

Still dont know which I like best but this is how it went.

Heres the original wheels I had on when I first did the restoration,
classic rally wheels....

Heres a pic of my car with Cragar SS wheels

Then I switched to Boyd Coddinton J5rs,

And have changed once again to Budnik Fontanas.

Coddingtons with tires are for sale in the parts thread.

When I get mine done I'm going to install a set of the Cragars. I ran them back in 1967.

As you have upgraded in quality you have upgraded in appearance (IMCO

).
The Budniks look great!

The Cragars have that special sparkle but also make the rest of the car to really pop.

I like the look of the Budniks on your car. From the 3 photos those really stand out.

Even if the price were the same on all of them, I would still like the cragars best.

I think the look of our cars is timeless so any way you go, be it old school or modern works. The reason I like the Budniks is I think they are a modern looking wheel that still have a slight connection to the Cragars.
