Still not a bad looking wheel but I really can't get into those flat spokes.

It's really too bad that wheel companies can't keep the original design elements in place. Today's American TTDs and TTOs aren't exact copies of the original '60s wheels and these new Cragars have those inexplicably flat spokes. You'd think they'd want to take advantage of enthusiasts who want new wheels that are the same as their old wheels. Maybe I just don't understand business?

Along the same lines of thought 427TJ, I'm surprised no one makes a radial tire that looks like the old bias ply tires with the squared shoulders. I think if someone made a duplicate of the Pro Trac tires from BITD that looked just as they did back then, they'd probably sell a million of them.

To add to that, how about some G-60 or L-60 14" sizes for the thousands of cars running original 14" muscle car wheels but would like a "day 2" wide tire out back. Not much available anywhere in 14" sizes.
