OK,

 

Have a tough decision to make, so I'm going to ask you guys what you think.  I'm trying to decide between 3 differnt rims for the Parisienne.  They are Hurst Dazzlers, Keystone Klassics and GM Ralleys...I think any of the 3 would look good on her so...tell me what you think via the poll.

Rally or torquethrust. Even a set of period Cragar SS's would look sharp.

What size are you looking at?

Those Dazzlers look they have a large offset - do you need spacers?

The rally's are classic. Of the three options, I say rally's. No doubt. Not even close.

While I love Rallye's, they wouldn't be my first choice for a Pontiac (assuming that a Beaumont is not a Pontiac). I would agree with Torque Thrusts, which are amoung the nicest wheels ever!

Rallys with the correct 67 small caps. No question.

I had Keystones on my first 66 GP, the black one, way back in 1975 and also like them very much. The rallys are still #1 pick though.

 Ok, I voted Rallyes.

The name Dazzler reminds me of a bad comic book hero:

 I have a brand new in the box set of polished American five spoke torque thrust here 15 x 7

 

I like rallys on your car but rims/trim and caps can add up very similar in dollars-what are they pricing for torque thrust ?

I like the Torque Thrusts. Torque Thrust II's on dark cars. Torque Thrust D's (gray) on light coloured cars.

I did a really quick and crude cut n paste in Photoshop with your 3 wheel choices...

Of the three, I'd have to say classic Rally's.

Otherwise, I think some bigger "Thrusts" would work well on the 2+2, imop they can add a little modern touch and stance .... Picked these 17" up for $180 each.

Cheers and good luck,
