My wheel are Voxx Gasser, do a Google search and you'll find pictures (some of my car) and retailers as well. I got mine from a local Discount Tire location, no shipping!

In the few years I've had them, I have not seen anybody else with them, and that includes the 1,000's of cars I saw doing the Hot Rod Power Tour a couple times.

If I were to swap wheels I'd get the Mag Wheels Bandit, sharp wheel and looks like a modern version of factory wheels. But I don't know if they'd clear my brakes, and I'm not yet tired of my current wheels, so they will stick around for a while.

I know Coker sells the repros.
I'm also with you on the plain wheels and hubcaps. I have SS111s on my 71 SX and 442. My 442 came with wheel covers so it has the XT plain wheels which I had done in body color for the future when I get the repro Firestone "Wide Ovals". Love those. The original brands were Goodyear, Firestone, B.F.Goodrich and Uniroyal for the most part. So today, only the B.F. Goodrich T/As are available as radials in the 14" size.
However, I also like some aftermarket larger wheels as the 69 above. Very nice. They suit an Olds. In my opinion, Supremes in 68 and 69 look very classy and sleek with those above the wheel well and rocker side moldings, much nicer than the "S" and 442 models.
