#1 reminds me of that time period. A friend had similar on a Nova.
I think they were called" Keystones"

I like #1 also but what do you think about some classic chevy wheels? Maybe painted to match and leave the center cap and trim ring chrome.

Here are some keystone klassics. Cragar wheels.



American Racing makes awesome wheels too!



Imagine those painted with the the charcoal metallic like on the top of the car instead of the black. Now that would be sharp.

That second wheel is more classic Ford though, that one wouldn't work on the Nova.

Yea I have been pushing him to get these. I had them on my 70 Nova. I like the looks of them on any old Chevy. As you can see they didn't even make the cut. Too bad.

There is no chance on the Cragar SS wheels. He hates them. I am not a fan of them either so I can't blame him there.

Thanks for all the input, I do appreciate it. Stock went out the window long ago. I need at least 17" to clear the wilwood discs all around. It is currently sitting with out the calipers or mounts to get those wheel on. The price tag in billet ralley's is over $1000 per rim for 18's. It is a restomod/protouring build, all coilover suspension, discs, 4-link in the rear with a ford 9". Looking for a wheel that will have a retro feel but still be current.

Here is what he finally chose. They are pretty much the same as number one and made by the same company. Thanks to all those that shared their thoughts.
