I can't believe stock,black, plain, steel wheels made the list. They may be cool now, for the restoration factor, but back when I was growing up in the 70's, they were immediately replaced with the Cragar SS right behind you. probably the most common aftermarket wheels for a muscle car back in the day.
I noticed the illusion of the reflected half circles on the Cuda wheels on a previous episode, and you mentioned it on this one! Great episode, I love watching these
number 10 wheel is the best imo. torqthrust style is so tough looking. i put em on my 66 barracuda, black and aluminum, w the red stripe tire...love it
I wasn't too thrilled when I saw the title, but I enjoyed it very much. Great job. Yeah, there were some good wheels that got left out, but these were very interesting. Maybe do a part 2 with the Chevy Ralley with the many different center caps, and some of the other popular wheels. The late '80s GN had a nice looking wheel.
Very good episode, but I would have preferred a two-part show: one with factory OEM wheels and one with aftermarket wheels. It was funny that there was a Cragar S/S wheel on the car behind him, and I kept waiting for that one to show up in the top 10 list, but it never did :). Back in the day, practically no one kept their stock wheels on their car for very long; it was either a Cragar, Keystone, ET, American Racing, etc., wheel that they went to, usually in a big/little combination.
I agree with you. That 1969 charger hub cap is very cool! Yeah the mags and the cragars look cool, but the hub caps really make it stand out. It gives it more of a sleeper look. I love your videos, keep me coming.
If every one had loved factory wheels there would not have been an aftermarket. That being said, as I get older I have grown fond of factory wheels. They just get a bit pricey some times. As always, great video. I always enjoy them and look forward to the next.
I think the Crager Shelby GT350 wheels from the '65-'66 cars are cooler than the '67-'68 wheels, the '65-'66 wheel was the basis for the later Crager S/S chrome wheels that were so popular in the '70s.
Love the pontiac sports wheel. Here in Australia they had them on the mid 70's GMH cars. My mum's 2 door HJ Holden Monaro sported this Style rims from the factory.
Dog dish hub caps all the way! But why didnt you mention the most popular gm mucle car wheels?? Chevy rally wheels where swapped on many gm products over the years, and some companys are still producing them. One of the most iconic wheels ever....
Top 3 for me- Pontiac rally II wheels, oldsmobile super stock wheels, and Chevrolet rally wheels, which the Chevrolet ones for some reason didn't make the top 10 here?
@@MuscleCarOfTheWeek Ahhhh, now you're talkin'! Pretty much all the car manufacturers had a cool looking set of wheels. The aftermarket had American racing with their classic TT and the daisy shaped spoke AR 200, Ansen had their slots, Cragar S/S, Keystone...
Hmmm... great ideas! We have so much material on so many awesome cars, we think it's fun to show things that are otherwise overlooked like our Stripe special and this one. Thanks for the kind words!
Torque Thrusts are my favorites with or without centercaps. Then CRAGARS, CENTERLINE Auto Drag Tricks, Ansen, Fenton, ET, CRAGAR or just about any "kidney bean" five slot aluminum wheels. I like the rear slot "mag" to be centercap free.
you missed the recalled Kelsey Hayes mopar rim...also you should have had the honorable mention from a 63 Corvette, the Vetts had the 1 year really complicated rim
They kinda talked about them when they were showing the ScRambler, but they didn't mention the Chevy version. I'm a bit surprized the Corvette style slotted Chevy rally wheel weren't mentioned but then there were only ten styles to show here...
Hey Camaro guy! Stick to your own, LOL! i admit the Mopar rallies were good looking and they had that cool round hole visual effect on the trim ring. If fact they all had their own cool style. The Chevy rallies that came out in 67 and were used all over the place, Nova, Chevelle, Monte Carlo, impala, Camaro, I think even the 67-72 C10 could be so optioned, so you name it they (almost) all had them. Right up until 1982, quite a run! they were available in 14x6, 14x7, 15x7, 15x7 (1968 Corvette offset)15x8 with 2 different style hubcaps, a smooth one with "disc brake" script and ones that were ribbed and those also had two lengths. And these still look stylish today!
@@robertpoudrette4483 haha I should have not jumped ship!! I love the Chevy Rally Rim of course... I'm maybe just too used of them.... the mopar version is sweet. I've owned many Chev rally rimmed cars over the years but never a "Disc Brake" versioned cap. At least I don't think I did? You know your rally rims I'll give you that my friend! Cheers!!
@@camaro69green31 My dad must have had a set of chevy rallies in all sizes! But it's okay to like other stuff! The Mopar rally is a nice wheel especially the early ones that were deep dished with the darker hubcap. I like the visual effect the d shaped hole made on a polished trim ring showing a full round hole. Also the Mopar chrome 2 piece Magnum wheels is a beautiful wheel, it reminds a bit of the Buick wheel they used on the GS and GSX. To me, and that's opinion only, that's the best looking stock wheel you could get on a brand new car. That type of wheel would visually fit almost any sporty car back in the day!
1. the wheels of a car, are like the shoes of a person, decisive what they represent ! from this it is easy to see what you are dealing with. therefore it is important that this fashion fits together ! 2. this video is extremely cool. it is very informative and also a topic what makes the muscle car only to the muscle car ! 3. this can also be extended with engines, the extras and special parts that were available for this theme ! 4. a top 25 selection would have become a total overview. top 10 is cool but there are still some nice shoes missing !!!! and last but not least !!! damn you forgot the tires !!! what is worse than a muscle car with semperit tires on mag 500 wheels where are the white letters on black ground ???
1) Painted Magnums 500 aren't called Magnum 500's, they are road wheels, A Magnum 500 is fully Chrome, no trim ring, and In my book THEY ARE the best Muscle Car wheel, even your clip mention they were Found on Many Models from many Brands, and if you are old enough, you never saw Poverty caps on "Muscle Cars", you saw them on 4 doors six bangers, or Station Waons, or real plain jane with no HP. You had Nicely designed Hubcaps from all manufacturere. The Poverty wheels became a TREND when someone decided in the late 80's to create the Sleeper Concept (yeah similar ideas were done prior) but using looked tame....what a surprise, if someone doesn't hear a 500 HP engine!!?? and just notices those Ugly caps ....really, 50% of a car's looks are the wheels, so get over the trend!
Very interesting stuff and a good departure from the normal episodes.

Dog dish for sure. Also, I thought Mopar offered a magnesium one piece wheel on some like the Charger but they recalled them...?
kanukster Were those the ones that were flying all over the place in bullit? Lol

Cool suggestion, i second that.
I like Pontiac Honeycomb wheels. Available on a 455 HO an a SD, and all sorts of others!
I agree with you. That 1969 charger hub cap is very cool! Yeah the mags and the cragars look cool, but the hub caps really make it stand out. It gives it more of a sleeper look. I love your videos, keep me coming.
What great feature! Thanks for making it!
Stamped steelies with some dog dishes are always my favorite on muscle cars.
Kelsey Hayes Magstars #1
viking419 So Nice!
Yeah, we LOVE those, too. Lots of cool wheels to choose from!
Where's the Pontiac honeycomb wheels?
The most unique wheel in History! And rare.
When you see stamped steel wheels with dog dish caps, the owner choose to spend his money on the engine
If every one had loved factory wheels there would not have been an aftermarket. That being said, as I get older I have grown fond of factory wheels. They just get a bit pricey some times.
As always, great video. I always enjoy them and look forward to the next.
The AAR CUDA wheels are #1, the Buick GSX Road wheels #2, then the 69 Charger Black wheels #3

LOVE the wheel feature Kevin!!! Riveted for the whole video! How about "top 10 headlight bezels"?? 😁👍 STILL love this channel!
Magnum 500s look great on almost ANY car from the 60s & 70s...
Awesome stuff there Kevin on 69 Trans Am I would of taken the rally style with the trim ring and center cap keep the stories coming great info.
Dog dish hub caps all the way! But why didnt you mention the most popular gm mucle car wheels?? Chevy rally wheels where swapped on many gm products over the years, and some companys are still producing them. One of the most iconic wheels ever....
Around where I grew up the chrome Crager was king. On the car behind him...
It was Keystone Classics around here
Crager SS's, Keystone Classics, and Centerlines...oh, and slots.
Cragers were aftermarket. The top 10 here were factory.
Top 3 for me- Pontiac rally II wheels, oldsmobile super stock wheels, and Chevrolet rally wheels, which the Chevrolet ones for some reason didn't make the top 10 here?
There are obviously far more than 10 cool wheels... maybe we'll revisit! Thanks!
@@MuscleCarOfTheWeek Ahhhh, now you're talkin'! Pretty much all the car manufacturers had a cool looking set of wheels. The aftermarket had American racing with their classic TT and the daisy shaped spoke AR 200, Ansen had their slots, Cragar S/S, Keystone...
Beautiful wheels folks!
What's next....Top 10 fronts, taillights, hoods?
Always enjoy the videos....now, get cracking on the next one! 😉 😄
Hmmm... great ideas! We have so much material on so many awesome cars, we think it's fun to show things that are otherwise overlooked like our Stripe special and this one. Thanks for the kind words!
The Torqthrust are the nicest wheels for me!!!
Great list but I'm bummed you didn't include the 1969 Mopar W23 Kelsey Hayes "recall" alloy wheels.
Poverty caps everyday.
Torque Thrusts are my favorites with or without centercaps. Then CRAGARS, CENTERLINE Auto Drag Tricks, Ansen, Fenton, ET, CRAGAR or just about any "kidney bean" five slot aluminum wheels. I like the rear slot "mag" to be centercap free.
Hi Kevin, Who manufactored the oldsmobile SS 2 and 3 wheels? please let me know..thankyou..B
you missed the recalled Kelsey Hayes mopar rim...also you should have had the honorable mention from a 63 Corvette, the Vetts had the 1 year really complicated rim
How about the Chevy SS wheel which came on 1969 SS Chevelles, SS Camaros and 1970 Chevelles !
They kinda talked about them when they were showing the ScRambler, but they didn't mention the Chevy version. I'm a bit surprized the Corvette style slotted Chevy rally wheel weren't mentioned but then there were only ten styles to show here...
Surprised you didn't have to honeycomb rims!!! 2022
Those are cool, for sure. Maybe a follow up is required.
Cuda' 10 hole steel wheels...... WOW. The best in my opinion.

I always loved steel wheel (Black or body colored) with poverty/dog dish hub cap. No frills muscle look, yeah!
I ❤️ burnouts.
Top 10 hideaway headlights, PLZ. Top 10 exhaust cutouts/valence & tips. Top 10 emblems & stripes. Cheva rally wheel doesn't even make the list?
Where are the Chevrolet Rallye Wheels, 14 X 6 or 15 X 7. Classic Factory Wheels with the Trim Rings.
Bare roadrunner wheels plz!
What!? No Corvette Rallye wheels?
jim colegrove I love ‘em!
slot mags!
rymdmannen77 Nice!
Magnum 500s aren't on here? What kinda list is this...
Daniel Collins um, 4:37.
Yes, I really like the Magnum 500s, especially on the older Fords, but definitely not the blue ones on the AMCs.
Not the painted blue ones Russell...

therefore it is important that this fashion fits together !

it is very informative and also a topic what makes the muscle car only to the muscle car !
3. this can also be extended with engines, the extras and special parts that were available for this theme !
4. a top 25 selection would have become a total overview.
top 10 is cool but there are still some nice shoes missing !!!!
and last but not least !!!
damn you forgot the tires !!!
what is worse than a muscle car with semperit tires on mag 500 wheels
where are the white letters on black ground ???
NO NEED TO LIKE 3 SETS OF STOCK STEELS N CAPS WHEN YOU FORGOT CHEVY RALLY WHEELS ALSO CORVETTE TURBINES !!!
69 corvette / camaro rally wheels

Exactly what I would have said!
Where's Ford 12 slot?
Didn't Ford Mustang's have nice wheels?
Sure did, many of them! Maybe we need to do another top 10!
MuscleCarOfTheWeek LOL ..sure! Throw on some honeycombs too! LOL.
Mopar with Cops and Rubbers (blackwalls)
