Wheels for 1965 Delta 88
I have a dilemma over which wheels to get.
Is there a particular style of alloy that suits this car and period? I've seen Cragar SS's and Astro Supremes and like them a lot. Are there any others that would suit a similar style, or something completely different perhaps? The style i'm looking for is kind of Resto Cal meets super stock!

I've never heard of Astro Supremes. You can never go wrong with Cragar SS though.

they definitely exist as my friend has them on his Buik Riviera, however they're quite hard to find any info on and somewhat rare i think. Cragars here cost £600 per set, that's over 250 dollars par wheel !

Torque Thrusts also looks nice. I had Cragars on my '65 Jetstar, liked the way it looked, but ultimatley went over to a steel wheels with small centercaps. I sold the Cragars. Hmm..maybe I ddin;t like the way they looked that much after all...actuall, I did, just prefered a more stock looking appearance.

Here's one approach. Eye catching, but a little too much wheel and not quite enough sidewall, for me anyway.
 The big girls can handle a larger wheel and still have nice proportions.  |
