Question Anyone have Boyd "Dictator" wheels? (pic)

I'm really wanting to go with a more nostalgic style wheel for the hugger orange SS. I like the TT2 style, but those are so played out that I really don't want a set.

These Boyds have the same old school style, but more modern touches like the smooth lip outer rim, smaller centercap, and flat spokes. I'd love to see some pics of these on an f-body if anyone has them.

THose look pretty sweet. Personally, I would like to see somebody try a Halibrand-style wheel on a late model F-body.

Those are very nice. They're on my list of possible choices for my Z28. I haven't seen any pics either.

Nice wheel. You should go with a nice wide wheel in the back to get the full effect of those nice lips.

My favorites are of course the rims I currently run Intro Pentia and my other choice would be BonSpeed Huntingtons (which can be ordered with colored centers)

The current wheels on my SS are too 'modern' looking for the hugger orange and the nostalgic stripes that are getting painted on this week. I think they would look better on a black or dark colored car. I want more of a nostalgia look to this one.

Those BonSpeed ones look sweet too!

I think with a deep lip for the back tires, those rims would look bad ***

I really think the front need a little bit of a lip on them too. Those on the black SS look too flat in the front. With a 9.5 and an 11 out back it would look sweet.
