I like either of the Bogarts or the Dictator. ........Leaning more towards the bogarts though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Raven, which Bogarts? I think I like the RR10 and RT equally.
I'll be able to swap DJ99SS's RR10s onto my car when I get it so we can see how it "really" looks on the car. Photoshop images don't really tell the whole story.

I would leave the stock rims on it.
Get rid of those cheap *** tires and get a set of retro Goodyears or Firestone Ovals.
It's a classic car why mess with 35 years of style!!!

I love my Draglites, but this car isn't going to be setup as a "drag" car. I'll be purchasing another car to make into a trailer queen.
This car will be a pro-touring setup:
Classic Style Body
LS1 engine
T56 6-speed
Baer Disk Brakes
Full Suspension upgrades (2" drop)
Late model seats (upholstered in Houndstooth)
Air Conditioning
Check out www.Pro-Touring.com if you want an idea of the final product. I want an old looking car that runs/handles like a new car. If any draglites find their way onto this car, that means I'm headed to the dragstrip. I'm shopping for daily-driver wheels right now.

You really can't go wrong - they are all nice choices!

You know I agree with Brad, I think that 10 spokes would be different... If you get a 5 spoke folks will be like 'are those Fikse's or Boyd's..." So many 5 spokes.

Ever since I saw the green 69 concept drawing posted a while back - I've loved the look.

18" Fikses - 69 Camaro

18" Torque-Thrusts - 69 Camaro

I like the rims... I just think its too little sidewall tire for the car. I would even consider using 16's. I personally like the look of more tire, less rim on an older camaro.

Good point Steve. I think the 15" factory rally wheels look *right* on fully restored cars. I just want to build something that stands out more. I'd like to see this one in a few magazines by the time I'm done with it.

I recently saw an ad that Cragar now has the
old SS style wheels out in 17" and I think
18" versions. That's a "classic" hot rod rim
if there ever was, only you can get some
better rubber on there now. That's my vote.

NineBall,
I sent you some pictures of a Rally Green 69 with 17in Boyd's on it a while back when you were looking to buy a car. I can send them again to you if you want. Let me know

I'm with Jimmyblue. The original Crager SS is about as good as it gets in my opinion. Personally I would go with 16's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
