Torque thrusts . . . . .or dog dish with red lines.

I'd go with #1... Torq Thrust's are just ho-hum to me. And the Center Line's are a pain in the ass to polish around all the rivets (learned from experience).

The Champ 10-13-2022 07:39 AM

I like the dog dish with redlines too, but that wasn't one of the options (as well as the previous mentioned Rally II's.)

slowbird 10-13-2022 07:55 AM

I'm open to other suggestions, only requirements are they need to be light and need to be available in 10" wide

Yeah, #1 for me.

My friend had a 69 GP and as I recall, it had what appeared to be deep dish Rally II's. Don't think I've seen them since but they were cool.

I know it's not one of the choices you listed but Year One Rally IIs all day long! The 17s look really good on the GPs. This 70 isn't mine - picture sourced from the web. https://www.jegs.com/i/Year-One/219/...c+rally+wheels

T Thrust

All good choices but for me personally I prefer something Day 2 in appearance that fits the era of the car. Love draglites but those didn't come along till much later. The most common Centerline wheel design that most are familiar with cam along very early in the 70's so that's a closer fit. But to be honest the torque thrust fits the theme and era much better. I generally go for the torque thrust because of that. Classic style that never gets old and looks good on anything.

The only other wheel I like that fits the era are classic Cragars. Being steel they are too heavy for what you are wanting to do, but for an alternative I've used is the polished aluminum Rocket wheels that very closely resemble an old Cragar without the weight penalty. I run a set on my Chevelle. I get people asking me all the time if they are Cragars, lol.

You can also get them with a grey center to tone them down a bit, but then they start looking like a torque thrust.....

I like my Cragar SS Next the Rally II Year One,

kingbuzzo 10-13-2022 11:10 AM

Those American Racing's are gorge...
