Wheel choice, 14 vs 15", retro vs TT ???
So i think Ive given up on the idea of 05+ Bullitts due to the concerns of rubbing or need for rolling, so now I have to decide between 14 and 15" wheels and TT's vs old school look.
I currently have 14" style wheels from I beleive 67. The tires are still in great shape so I can either get 14" wheels or look at upgrading to a 15" wheel/tire combo. Not sure if there is an added benefit to going with a 15 other than filling the well a bit more.
On top of that I seem to like to many styles to decide on the TT II's/D or retro look with the Magnum/66 Sytle Steel.
Here is a pic of my red 66 with the black top and 67 wheels. The rest are some Ive seen on here that Im using as a go by.
What are the opinions on what will look best on my ride.......................

I like my 15" TT style chrome wheels. I paid like $140 each from Summit Racing.
I did go with a low profile style tire and it only cost me about $60 a piece for them. I run a staggered set of 15x7 front and 15x8 back. They were the same price so it didn't even cost me extra. I run a 205/50R15 front and 225/50R15 rear. Over the summer I am thinking about widening my rear rims to 15x10s or 15x9s and getting a 275 to run.

Thanks for the input, Looks like the 15 is winning out, I see from the wheel chart that most are running 215-60-15 tires on a 15 x 6/7 with a back space of 3.75-4, now its down to TT II's, Sytle or Magnums.......
