Wheel Question


I am looking at putting new wheels on the 68 this year and need to keep it era correct (within 2 years). Would it have been more likely to have the Chevelle SS/396 wheel on the 68/69 Beaumonts or the Pontiac Rally II and which wheel cap would be correct?

Is this a requirement for the BC collector plates? I have been thinking of applying also but was not sure about the rules. I heard  that you can use any era correctwheels including Cragars orthe old style Torque Thrust with the charcoal spokes?

Yes I think you can use the TT D's,with the grey spokes I have not found out if you can use the polished D's yet though.

I'm not too sure when those wheels were made, Lefty. They look like maybe mid to late 70's or even 80's.

I was told the D's would be ok as you could purchase them at that time. This is what they say:

change your wheel size (not more than one inch taller and wider)

upgrade your tires from bias ply to radials

 install era correct wheels and hubcaps

Era Correct: Available within 2 years (plus or minus) of the motor vehicles model year
