    Rod,

    You gotta know answers will be all over the place. This is only my view.

    If the body is retro, I like the spokes or the Torque Thrust D's with the mag colored center.

    If you're going with a pretty slicked out body, I like the Torque Thrust Chromes.

    I don't care for the slots.

    Here's another option.

    Slot mags with re-pro 32 caps adapted.

    I also have a set of billet caps for these wheels, but prefer the stamped steel ones.

    I like steelies with baby moons, but painted body color and chromed beauty rings. Is it 1955 again yet or is that classic forever?

    Not exactly what you asked for, but another option.

    The "not red" bit makes a big difference.

    I'll probably add a set of 50 Ford stainless beauty rings, but maybe not.
    Still thinking about it and no use scratching up the powder now.
