If you're wanting to go with a budget steel wheel, I think the Cragar "D Window" wheels look better than the Soft 8s. Of the two you've narrowed it down to, though, I'd lean toward the Soft 8s.
One thing to consider is that any of any of these are heavy wheels, and extra unsprung weight will have a detrimental effect on ride and handling.
d windows are a nice option if you want the blacked out look
but i dont want black, near as i can tell the only way to get them in chrome is as a streetlock and i dont need phony beadlocks on a car
the weight is not a huge concern, as the car is strictly a weekend cruiser, it might get taken to a fun night at the strip 1 or 2 times a year
as for going budget steel, im tired of polishing aluminum all the time..... in my experience chrome should be a bit easier to care for and i like being different
i've never seen a car around here with either of those, just lots of jeeps with black soft 8s tho
my dad has a 74 nova with the cragar double fluted i think series 340?
i like them also, but not so much on my car, i've seen one physically on it, thus no photoshop
here is the nova
