Hey gang
I have a 67 Barracuda Fastback 'S' 383 auto that is factory yellow with a black stripe. I'm putting the factory 5.5x14 steel wheels back on it and need opinions on wheel color. Should I go with body color with dog dishes. or Gloss black with standard lug nuts. Tough decision
 
73AbodEE has done it all with his yellow Duster ...black, body color, w & w/o trim rings etc. He's posted pics of all his combos. He changes it up quite a bit (ain't that right 73AbodEE?) :toothy8: I think I like black, until I see body colored...LOL

Maybe some pics will help. Here is my car with black Steelies, dog dish caps and trim rings.

Also included are painted with dog dish caps and a pic with factory wire wheel covers.

Each option significantly changes the car's personality.

LOL Pat ... that would be correct hehe

I like it all

get 2 sets of steels, one painted black and one painted body color.

get you a set of nice trim rings , chrome lug nuts and dog dishes

between all that, you have about 6 or 8 different combinations lol. i really do like the body color wheels.

and if that isnt enough, get you some cragars , centerlines , magnum 500s , and a set of slots

nothing better than options lol . exactly like 68 formula says, every combo gives the car a different look and attitude
 
I ordered sbp 8" steelies from made by Wheel Ventiques on 4/14. Waited about 6 wks because they were special order. They show up ...sweet. BBP...big bolt pattern!! really! No problem, send them back we are sorry. Wait another 6 wks, guess what shows up on Wed? Yep 8" wheel with bbp....wtf... I want my steelies!!!!!!!

Where do you get the trim rings for the black steelies?
 
Just my Opinion, but I love the look of my Cuda!

Love the Barracuda..... when I see steelies on a car without caps they should have torque thurst on the front and steelies on the back.. but thats just me, i'm freaking retarded.
 
Body color with dog dishes. To me black with chrome lug nuts just look unfinished. Yea I know A12 cars came like that. And to me they look unfinished too.
