this is my first post so be patient! I ordered edelbrock 409's(if you don't know what they look like, go look) about 2 months ago and today i found out they are on back order real bad and it could be another 2-4 months to get them...so i don't know if i should cancell and find something else or what! I like the TT 2's but don't like the polished look(dont want to be cleaning all the time) and my dad likes the 17'' cragars! I don't really but i might change!! I'm so lost!!! I def. want 1. chrome 2. spokes of some sort 3. some kind of lip Any one have any info or input it would be great!! also, i want an 8" wide rim!! help me

SOO.. I like my cragars better than the TT's BUT I am VERY "old school" I agree with your dad in other words... mine are 17x8 front 4.5" BS 255 size rubber and 17x9 rear 5.5" BS with 275 size rubber...
WARNING the Cragars are the heaviest of your three choices but for me it was an apperance mod not a performance gain....
maybe this helped,...

Come on guys, i need more help! I don't know what to do! I really like the 409's but don't want to wait 2-4 months and then maybe still not have them! Does anyone have these on their car or ever seen them on a car???? I like the TT but i don't like the polished idea cuz i know they'll dull down! anyone have any wheels from Boydcoddington or Budnik! I have gone to their site but i want to see them on cars first! I have to see it on a car before i commit to something other then the 409's!

I'm not a big Cragar fan, theve been done on EVERYTHING already, but thats an opinion. I looked at the 409's and I think they are too angular. It's your car, wha do YOU want?
