Default Wheels for my 69

I got some feedback in another thread about the wheels on my 69 not being "just right".

What would be the best wheel/tire combo....in your opinion for this car...

good looking car, but i would have to agree with the statements about the rims. some nice billet wheels would look great on that thing though. try looking at some boyds, iforged, fiske, hre, or budnicks. some nice rims would really complete that car

If you can afford them, I'd go with what abadss suggested. My G2 wheels looked good on my '69. I've had them and the Enkei Win wheels (basically same wheel) on it and they looked great. But I had to use adapters to space the wheels out.. Some Fikse FM-5's would look killer on it. 17/18's.

something with more of a retro theme.
