Which wheels do you prefer?

[Kern Dog]

I'm going to put this '65 Dart on ebay again. I had it posted a few weeks ago with these wheels:

I personally like the factory Rallye wheels but I know that some don't. These are the 14x 5 1/2" size.
I also Have some 15 x 5 1/2" wheels that I can use:

I have a set that I am going to paint body color while also using the small hub caps.
I am going to offer the buyer the option of wheels but I am curious what the FABO members think. Which wheels do you like best?

The dog dish give it more of a "stock" appearance. And a bit of a more level stance. I prefer the look of the rally's, but that's what I am running. What kinda $$ are you listing it for (if I may ask)?

Black steel wheels, no hubcaps, chrome lutnuts

 

[Stephen Mulkey]

I'm a fan of the Rallyes, I like the look.
If you paint the black wheels body color it could work also. I'm just not a black wheel fan.

Man, that's tough. I like the rallyes too for some reason, though I'm sure they'll get the purist's panties in a wad. More reason to leave them on.

On the other hand, I think body colored steelies would look best.

 

[abdywgn]

steelies and small hubcaps...glad you're far away!

Slot mags, craigers, dog dishes are what I like on a body cars. Some torque thrusts look okay too.

B body cars i like mag 500's

I had it on ebay a few weeks ago. One bidder asked for underbody pictures so I put it up on the car lift. I noticed some rust bubbles at the bottom of the drivers side lower quarter, not visible when the car was on the ground. I didn't know it was there until I had the car up in the air.
I edited the description in the ebay listing to show that I found some rust. . It may have scared off some potential buyers. The bidding stalled out at $3951 and the reserve was $5000. I have since cut out the rust and patched in clean metal and repainted the section.
Some people are purists and they see the Rallye wheels as a 1970 and later thing. I get that. I just wanted to know what the A body crowd thinks.

Steel wheels and poverty caps.

Honestly I like the Steels on that car better than the rallies. I would raise the price 500 and offer both sets of wheels. Options are always fun.

I like the rallyes myself and I run Powder-coated red with 66 hubcaps on my 65.

 

[dibbons]

I love the Rallye wheels and have a set on our '65 Barracuda. However, for some weird reason, I don't seem to like them on your '65 Dart and prefer the other set. Besides, those center caps look like the later version, and I prefer the first/original style.

 

[emsvitil]

Dog dish / body colored

I may be biased...............

 

[Joey4speed]

In my opinion, those Ralley wheels look out of place, weren't they originally available after 69?
Dog dishes look right at home on the '65.

The second picture is what I like best !!

 

[GGs66GT]

Rally’s or Torqthrust or Cragar’s

But the steely’s on a 2 door post work better if they are 15x7 with a wider tire .

 

[Kern Dog]

Thanks everyone. I have 4 sets of 14" Rallye wheels so I have been using them up on cars that I sell. I also have a few sets of 15" steelies so I'm just going to use what I have. It seems that the steelies are in the lead in the popularity contest.

 

[Dartfreak75]

I personally like steel wheels and dog dish caps but I also like rallies yours looks great with either!

 

[RustyRatRod]

Rallyes look like puke on early A bodies. I love the dog dishes. That's where it's at.

 

[67dartgtgo]

If I were buying it I’d like the 15” steelies painted body color with the red rings and the tallest, fattest tire I could get fit in there.
That’s a good looking ride.

 

[DentalDart]

Black steelies look best imo. As most,I'm slightly biased.... throw some redlines on it while you're at it

 

[Car Nut]

Black wheels is my vote.

Greg add a poll.

 

[Kern Dog]

I can tell just by reading. The plain steel wheels are the clear winner. It looks like a close call between blue and black as far as color though.

 

[Dartsun]

If your going steel wheels go body color. That blue would look great on the wheels also.
