I had similar ones to those on my car:

check out the pitting on the right wheel lower right corner of picture in the chrome. the black spots. one rainy day and the whole wheel is brown

mine were the Cragar Quick Trick I. I found they looked pretty decent (i used 15x7 with 3.75BS). However they rusted to crap within a month. I had to constantly clean them. I was sick of them ...



and I guess that will be the case with any cragar steel chrome wheel. I never saw any different (budy with cragar SS had his nearly rusted through at the seam)

I had the American Racing and my buddy had the Cragars and we didn't have any issues with rust. We did polish them quickly a few times, but that was it. Of course we are in a different climate. I have seen older ones that were rusted and pitted etc.

US. Wheel Supreme 48's, not sure who actually makes them (I think it's US Wheel). I got them off of Summit but I know that they buy from other dealers to sell in their stores.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like a 15x7 with 3.75 to 4.25 is what i am looking for. Everyone and their brother has the 5 spoke torque thrust II or cragar SS style. Modern huge wheels just dont look right to me but the 330s look like something that would have been put on the car when new.

I don't like the look of that wheel either. How about some Vintage 40 Wheels 15x7.

Those Vintage 40 wheels are awesome. I think his budget is only 200-300 for a set of wheels though and those are 200 each.

If I were going to go to a bigger wheel, that would be the way I would do it.
