I was also partial to Keystones as well!

Yep. I said I agree with you.

Not much more I can wrap my my head around

Pablo, sometimes you're just too nice.

'68 is my favorite for the A-Body refresh. Small tail lights... Muncie linkage was garbage.

Yes that factory shifter linkage that bolted to the cross member vs attached to the transmission was a joke. There was no “speed shifting”.

IMO, it’s more about sidewall than wheel style on classic muscle cars. The rubber band on a huge wheel look just ruins an old muscle car for me.

I think we can all agree on this. Silly.

Those ribbon tires look great on 4x4 trucks though. NOT!!! Ugg.......

I’d watch old Overhaul’n shows and they’d do all this fabulous work. Then Foose would put these huge wheels with minimal sidewalls on it. I always thought Jeez, you ruined it.

17" is about the limit that looks good on an old muscle car.

The availability of decent performance tires in 15" and 16" wheel sizes is drying up unfortunately.

I just flat out hated the wheels he designed

The bicycle tire look from the side doesn`t do it for me.

I had the 69/70 factory SS wheels circa 1970 on my 66 SS Chevelle. I couldn’t afford the Torq Thrust or the Butterfly’s which would have been my first choice.

Loved the 66-67 SS Chevelles.
