I have a set of original 15 x 8 Motor Wheel Spyders I'll be putting on my T/A the next time I get it road ready... just need to decide what tires to put on them. Leaning towards the Firestone Wide Oval radials.

Those Appliances are probably 40 years old. Chrome does not last forever. Yes, Appliances were cheaper than Cragars but Appliance wheels were all steel while Cragar was steel hoop with cast aluminum center.

I'm a fan of Weld Racing ProStar wheels.

I built a 62 Catalina for Grand Touring and the street. I used 71 "B" Body tall spindles ( for negative roll steering) and disc brakes. The 71 cars all used 15" wheels. When I got my Cragar SS wheels for it I discovered two things. 1. I had to clearance the wheels and calipers for the wheels to go on without hitting a stock caliper. 2.They wouldn't allow Cragars on the race track because I was told they come apart at high lateral g loads.

LOL! OMG what morons tech cars that will not allow SS's for racing

Grand touring= Road racing got it. Drag racing no lateral load. Besides I didn't make the track rules

Street scene in the northeast in the 60's was heavy, heavy on Cragars on hot cars. Factory rims so regarded now were ditched. Junk. Cragars made it cool. 5 slots were a distant second. I think I wouldn't pick Cragars now because I have seen them so many times. Kind of like Hot Rod Red.

For vintage mojo I also like the Spyders. Somewhere I used to have a vintage pic of a Lucerne TA running them. I would run them in a heartbeat.

Also am weird in that I like aged aluminum patina...……….. rims are a personal thing and I think people shuld not be afraid to run them on otherwise restored cars. Keep the stockers handy, no big deal....

Looks like I'm late to the party. But, I thought I'd add a couple pics anyway. The first is a '70 Formula that Dad had shortly after he and Mom got married. It has Keystones on the front and slots on the back(I don't know what size they are). The other is a '76 Formula that Dad bought totaled when it was basically new and he rebuilt it as a Trans Am. It's got the old Rocket mags on it.

Bought these locally online for my 68. Not sure what brand they are but they looked good!
