Looking at new rims and tires, i like my current 15" ss2s but the tires have a 25 year old date code on them despite being in other wise good shape.

I cant decide which rim to go with i like a lot of different rims but having trouble pulling the trigger

Ive selected a few styles i like but i can easily talk myself out of any one

ex torque thrusts many variations i love them all but are they too fordy for a GM ?

I do like the US mags rambler but cant seem to find a 68-72 cutlass wearing them on the net.

SO pick your favorite from the pictures shown or throw out the name of your favorite rim.

Allot are played out, and others wont fit correct with back spacing availible with the biggest tire.

I when through the same thing, i thingk keep 15in ss2's have the rears widened..I have the re-pops and after 1 year theres tiny rust coming through the chrome.

Oh and i liked the last/ your fav. us mag. There is someone around here with them i think. Not to be a jerk, i did like them the best, but they seem more like a mustang wheel

The Rambler is a nice wheel with wider tires, I think it would look nice on a 68-72.

Well i didnt want to sway any opinions but the rambler is similar to the AR repro shelby wheels..but the ss1s are similar to the mustang magnum 500...

I like the black center rambler but its apparently only availible in 17 or 18 the grey or chrome is available in 15"....im probably sticking w 15" to retain ride comfort

I like American Racing CP200s. Colloquially known as Daisies or Coke Bottles. They are the wheels on my first '68 Cutlass S (my avatar). They went on my '69 442 (blue in my sig) after the '68 was totaled. I was rear-ended on the highway, all those many moons ago! I went with those for two reasons: 1) the Style, and 2) ALL the hot rodders in HS had Craiger SS's. I can't stand those Craiger's to this day, LOL!

I have never really been a fan of Crager SS's. I love the Torque Thrust. There are several nice wheels on here. It needs to be what you like.

I like the cragar SS but i think truckman was alluding to them when he stated "Allot are played out" for a while it seemed like everyone was running them....

I found one site that has an emulator to see the rims on your car although it has an odd angle here is a cutlass w the ramblers ....

Retro, Those Ramblers look pretty cool on that car!

Thanks to all who voted and replied looks like its the ramblers by a nose....I just hit the order button on some u111 15x8 ramblers and 255-60-15 cooper cobras

This is when I would go to my nearest discount tire and try them before you buy them. They've always been kind enough to let me experiment within reason.
