RE: Check out my new wheels
Hmmm, interesting feedback on who likes them, and who doesn't..
Kinda figured the older guys would, and the younger ones wouldn't, but seems to be a mix both ways.
I know the trend now is to take older cars and put bigger wheels on them, and you see that happening more and more at the car shows. But these bigger wheels trend is just something I can't get into, because to me, it's something that the "tuner" crowd likes to do. I don't have anything against those people, but I just don't want to be a part of it. I wanted to lean towards the "muscle" car group, and these wheels were a part of that scene. As I said, I'm old enough to remember the "real" muscle cars of yesterday before the gas crunch shut them down. Guess I'm trying to take a "modern" car and go back in history, or something like that...
But I do appreciate all your comments, both good and not so good 
As badtzmaru said, what matters most is how I feel, and I like 'em... So there....LOL

RE: Check out my new wheels
First, l like the air force one comment. lmao my opionion(seeings how you want opinions) The cragers look good to you because you grew up with them....with other kind of cars, you should go with a wheel that best represents your car. The pony wheels make that car look great where as the cragers would make an old dart or something look pretty good. oh and at the SEMA show i got a picture with the crager girl. they are making 22" six spoke cragers now for pickups. crazy! Every man has his own look he wants. go with something that makes you happy though, thats all that matters anyway right?
