SS1 or SS2

after reading another thread i was wondering what people like better. the SS1 wheels or the SS2 wheels.

i like the SS1 but the Rallye 350s only came with SS2s after the 91 442 sells and we find our 68, i will put SS1s on it.

For me it depends on the color of the car. Generally I like the SSI on darker colored cars and SSII's with lighter colors. John

I usually prefer the SSII's, but I saw a set of SSI's on a Saffron Yellow 69 convertible last year that made the car. I think you just have to throw-em on once the paint is done and see how you like-em. Then you can give the set you didn't like to me

Anyone who has a set of SS1's they don't need could send them my way as I have a saffron yellow convertible I would like to try them out on Just to see if the previous post is accurate of course

Had SSII on my 68 s. Right now have SSI on my 71 conv. Personal Opinon I like the SSII on for a more muscular look and the SSI for a more understaded look.

If you're not concerned about "correct" for '68, disregard this, but SSIs were not a factory option in '68.

This is purely personal opinion, but I prefer the SSI wheels on the 66-67 cars and SSII/III on the later cars.

I prefer the SS wheels that were on the late 80s Cutlass Ciera.
