I have two sets of wheels to choose from for my car. Help me pick which ones look better. I will be using the Cooper Cobras on the SS1's either way. They have a little better tread and are bigger, 275/60 compared to 255/60 and 225/70 compared to 215/70. Both rims are 15x7 and 15x8 and both sets are in really good condition.
Pics are big but I wanted to show the best detail possible. BTW, whichever ones I don't go with will be available for sale, local pick up preferred but will ship if needed.

I like the SS1's as is better but if I get out voted at least flip the tires to black wall out with the TT2's

 

Personally I like the ss1's . Just put centre's in them.

 

SS#1 with the white letter to the inside and some nice shiny centers

 

Nice looking with either set but the blue looks better with the Mags although I'm partial to the ss1's.

Generally if you do the car show thing you have the potential to go stock or modified depending on the wheel you choose but I'll bet you knew that.

Keep them both. And nice car.

 

TT2s all the way...those SS1s will make your car look terrible and barely run

BTW I will do a fellow olds man a favor and take those SS1s off your hands

 

SS1's look better to me.

 

Whichever ones I decide against will be available

 

There's a fellow olds man taking a bullet for the team, damn i shoulda spoken up sooner

 

At the risk of appearing a hypocrite, I say SS1. And I would like to point out the blue 66 is my sons car, he picked the wheels, I just paid for them. I would have chosen SS1 for it also. Plus I am old and lazy, chrome wheels are better for me as I do not want to polish wheels which are bare polished aluminum.

 

I always liked the Torque Thrusts, since I'm not into the resto look.

 

I like em both! Richards right on the blackwalls out idea.

 

Another vote for the SS1's. When original wheels can make a car look just as, or more bad *** than shiny new ones, I'm all about it. I've always been torn between my SSII's and SS1's for my car...

 

I like them both, would be a tough choice, though I like SSIIs on a blue car as well. I'd say the SS1s

 

Paint them Argent Silver ans they will look great

 

I like the Torque Thrusts

 

I like the SS1's blackwall out, everyone and their brother is running the torque thrusts on everything

 

I like the SSIs. But if you end up going with the TTs send me a PM!!

thanks, Peter

 

SS1 w/ RWL FTW!

 

TT2 but in 17"

 

x 2

I like both of them, but I am a big fan of the torque thrusts.

 

X2, look awesome with the blue

 

they both look good but the ss1 with the white letters out looks better to me, i actually considered putting some tt2s on my car at one point but to me they are just to played out, everybody has them on something. lol they are going to be the next cragars s/s. i say stay stock looking

 

They both look nice but I like the first set a little more....Great looking car!!!

 

SS1s hands down. If the Torq thrusts were 'D' style that would be a different story. Well - maybe not cuz I'd want to buy the 'D's from you......

 

TT's look good but I'd have to say SS1's for me...

 

Normally I'd say SS1's but on your car the TT's look better.

 

Thou shall choose the SSI's.

 

Get a 3rd set of wheels. Hmmmm, I'll consider that.

 

If you had a set of original SS-I wheels (along with a pair of correct '70 Cutlass Supreme grilles ) then i'd probably lean toward those, but i think the Torq Thrusts look good!

 

SS1's

 

Hey, I like my grilles
My sport mirrors are '71/'72 too.

 

Just an FYI I have decided to keep the Torq Thrusts and will be selling the SS1's with my Dunlops mounted up if anyone is interested. Local pick up strongly preferred but will ship if you'll pay for it.

 

Looks great - you can't go wrong either way!

 

I like both sets, run the car with the TT2s and show it with the SS1s.

 

If they were original SS1's I'd consider that but the sets are too similar IMO.
