Default Re: Opinions about retro aftermarket rims?

Antera 369 looks nice and clean. It is its own style, similar to some of the nicer wheels for the Solstice.

I'm not sure the Cragar SS comes in our bolt circle and offsets.

Some of the design cues on the Crossfire hark back to prewar greats like the Talbot Lago, the Bugatti Atlantique and the 1995 Chrysler Atlantic concept.Without the Atlantic's success on the show circuit, I highly doubt the Crossfire would have been green-lighted.

As for 20s all round, I admit the Foose Lusso setup (which several members have) is a guilty pleasure but only good for smooth boulevards and have their own issues. The advantage of some of the retro designs is that they offer protection for the brake pads and calipers from road "gunk".

I'm not in a hurry on this project ... I just want to get it right the first time.

The nice thing about this forum is that we don't have to agree on everything. It would be boring ... like driving a Lexus SC430 or something
