I looked at that wheel closely before I chose #6 for my '86 Sovereign. My only problem was I could only find one source although I caught a couple of those on an ebay sale. I'm still happy with my choice and I'm sure you will be equally happy with yours. They are sharp and really stand out.

# 2 matches the wheels on my F150 best and that's what I would buy for your Argy.

If I had a different TV, which I need for my 34' Excella, the wheels might be different and I might lean towards #6.

I like #3 & #4, but they are starting to look a bit period to me, especially #3. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have 6 of either instead of the steel wheels and hubcaps on the Excella.

#1 & #7 are busy. #1 is just trying too hard. IMHO, the problem with most custom wheels is that there are a limited number of things that look good, and designing something just to be different doesn't work.

So, #2 or #6. In that order.

Hi Janet,

Wow, if the photograph before had looked that good, I would have l ranked them at the top. They look great!

Hey.. I go away for three weeks to Europe, and see what I missed! Love your choice Janet! Can't wait to see how it's all coming out. Hmmm... if WHEELS are going on, can the end be near?

Happy Belated Birthday!
Marc

We got them from Dicks Auto parts online. But the wheels are made by SenDel (China) They look fine and are well rated - but i guess we have to wait and see how they hold up.
