Real chrome reverse with no hubcaps on a Camaro..love the blue lines but red lines would look great also..
..and use real chrome reverse..not smoothies or fake/generic ones that look like crap..and use a deep offset/reverse so they fill the wheelwell..paint the rear brake drum hole white and use the little chrome dust cap on the front and =perfection. This car just is the epitome of the late 60's early 70's... |

Yep, both cars have that great Day 2 look with the chrome wheels. Today we're all hung up on Torq Thrusts (which I love and have many originals) and Cragars but chrome reverse/chrome steelies are spot-on for the period. Not everyone could afford mags and also chrome reverse/steelies were still popular. Great look. Love the bluelines on the Camaro.

I remember my local Harts dept store offering Chrome reverse for $19.95 each back in 1976-1977 or so...

Chrome reverse wheels would not bolt onto disc brake rotors, so if you saw a car with them on, you knew it was a drum brake car.

My Nova with Wheel Vintiques Chrome OE wheels, front chrome dust covers, and some vintage Mr Gasket rear axle covers I bought from a member here.

Thank you! I wanted to try the Chrome OE wheels and whitewalls, as it seems that this was a common "day 2" mod back in the mid-60s, but something seldom seen today. I'm really happy with the "look". It's a bit different than the typical torq thrust or Cragar SS that you commonly see on a 64-68 car.
These are not true "reverse" wheels, as the Chevy II wheelwells won't allow it. I agree with the original poster than "smoothies" just don't work, but these wheel vintiques "OE" wheels have all the same features as the real original chrome reverse wheels. |

that Camaro looks great. more of a road-racer stock car look than a drag racer (straight line- no turns) look.
