I went with Crager SS and the corvette style spinners.

Hey zo6, They look nice, but then again, I,m an old timer from the Cragar era. I just put a set of ss's on mine too. Sharp rims, good choice. I'm curious, where did you get the spinners from??

I went with 16x8 ZQ8 wheels off an S-10 Xtreme.

i have the ss as well mine are older verson. I like the spinner in the middle.

Here are some brand new ones. She sells them all the time.

Take care.

Hey Bowtie, Thanks for the post on the spinners.

mgs72elky I got my spinners from the company when I bought my wheels. I only paid like $60 for the set, but that link that bowtie found is a pretty good deal. Good Luck

Just a small note on those pretty spinners. They will not work on the new generation, one-piece Cragar Super Sports - only the original two-piece style. I almost learned that lesson the hard way because I wanted them on my new 17" SS's. Likewise, the center caps won't interchange either.

For what its worth.

Take care.

I have Weld Draglites on my 79, I really like the look, but they need polished up some.

I have one bad one in the front, I think someone hit a curb pretty hard before. I think I am going to move one up from the back, then buy 2 15x8's for the back, and run 14X7's in the front. Keep the other good rear one for the spare. You would not belive how light these wheels are until you pick them up.

Stock Olds 442 wheels... I really like them actually, though I plan to get Cragar SS or American 200S this spring soon as I get my car out of it's winter hibernation beside the house.

The guy I got em from said '69 Hurst Olds, and they were in fact gold when I got them (which would be correct), but I just don't believe that. Probably from a regular early 70's 442.

Can see the car and wheels in my sig where it says "take a gander"

I got my elco with these rims from a camero I have been told not nearly as nice at those american torque thrust rims but may be cheaper to get

Stock ralley wheels on my 79. Soon to have the wider ralley's in the rear. Will eventually be repainted once all the bodywork is done on the car.

I have American Racing Outlaw II's. I like them. I'd like to put something a little more distinctive on my next El Camino. About 3 out of 5 fifth gen's I see have the same wheels as me.

I have Boze Stixx series wheels. 17x8 with a 4.5 backspace.
