Another thread got me thinking...


So, which way would you go?
1. As delivered
2. Dealer upgrade off another vehicle. Or,
3. Day 2.

I love Honeys, but they suck. Heavy, don't balance well. Love D98 cars, looks great!

I'd also do the Day 2. Except with Keystone Klassics!



It seemed everyone had the cragar 5 spokes or centerline type wheels.
I'm always the one to go different, got the Keystones. L60's on back and G60's front.

Keystone Klassics would look good, if that is an option.

Those Centerlines don't look good on A-Bodies in my opinion.

Can't go wrong with Rally IT'S

.

Option 1, as delivered... but remove the trim rings. Trim ringless rally 2s are some of the best looking pontiac factory wheels on cars of this era IMO.

I agree on both points.

The Cragar SST's didnt make it onto the scene til very early 80's. So more like Day 2000 for a '73 Bird. Can remember around here a bunch of mid 70's alum front bumper Camaro's getting a set, w several of us calling em out as "Pie Plates" wheels Usually installed with air shocks & maybe a pair of cheap traction bars. No thanks then, no thanks today.

The Super Trick were around in the '73-4 time period. But, yeah, the Street Super Trick were 1978-9.

The honeycombs look good with that color and stripes IMO.

My '74 came with 15x7 rallys. I have a set of 15" honeycombs that I was going to install. Ended up buying a set of 17" honeycombs for it.

My '73 came with steel wheels dog dish hubcaps. It looks too blah and plain with them. Right now it has a set of 16x8 Torque Thrusts on it. I do have another set of 15x7 rallys that I switch over to once in a while.
