Default Back to classic stock wheels

Decided to buy new rallys, other people liked my old wheels but I never did.

What other wheels did you have on it?

I just recently switched from Crager SS back to Ralleys - a definite improvement.

I had what some people call "Western Wheels" or "Turbine", and they were okay, just wouldn't shine because they were magnesium, though they can get bright and they are extremely light.

If they are Magnesium they will be worth a lot on Ebay. A few years back I sold a set of real Halibrand Sprint mags for 2100.00

Maybe I'm just an old school guy, or just an old guy (true) but those Rally's really made that car. They were'nt much on style, just really classy.

I have to admit, that when I first got my car, I wasn't too fond of rally wheels. They have since grown on me and I like them. I do have a set of TTII's in the garage waiting on me to install.
