I think fikses and HREs look kinda out of place on a old muscle car unless it is really custom. Besides that fact your going to be looking at 4-5K for a decent set. Do you have that kinda budget to spend on just wheels? I think the torque thrusts look more period correct, and give the car a more clean appearance. They look good on that red car you posted, right size and everything. They fill the wheel well and I cant imagine they are that expensive either. I would also look into some other options ---

The torque thrusts, but get them all polished. Not dark in the center IMHO.

> [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > Those look like Fiske wheels. I’d definatley go with them. They are Fiske wheels. But big $$$$$ Any ideas on where to get them? I basically was checking their web site for them so of course they will be big $$$, but they look hot! If I found them at a comparable price to Torq Thrusts, I think I would buy them. ---

Dont buy HRE’s, the finish SUCKS, the wheels are weak and any abuse to them will likely crack/shatter them. The wheels on the mule (the grey camaro you posted) look great. If you’re budgeting $2000 for a GOOD set of wheels and dont want to spend the $3000-$4000 required for Kinesis/Fikse, I would check out CCW. I’ve dealt with John before and not only are his wheels strong/light, the prices are great for that type of wheel. [www.ccwheel.com](http://www.ccwheel.com) His 505a’s are basically a ripoff design of the HRE’s you posted if you were swaying that route. However, with a better finish, lighter, and a much stronger wheel… Oh yeah, did I mention cheaper? ---

I mentioned these on the first page, but no one saw it, before there was Torq thrusts there were CRAGAR SS’s. go to a old muscle car show, look at the wheels, these are everywhere. Back in the day everyone had these. ---

HRE 547s look soooooo amazing, but they’re too damn expensive, at least for my taste. Torq Thrusts/Cragers are waaaay overplayed on muscle cars. Those Fiske’s look hot too.
