: which wheels--give me some opinions

I am about to buy some wheels for my 69 RS/SS. 17x8 with 5"BS front (have disks) and 17x9.5 with 5.5" BS rear(have drums). I have narrowed it down to four.

Centerline Matrix or Dagger

Boyd Coddington Nemesis or Stingray

I have seen the Stingrays on this site. The others I have not seen. I know someone has the Centerline Matrix. The pics on Centerlines website only shows the six spoke for the Matrix. I have not seen any of these wheels in person. I kinda like the Dagger but worry about the curves in it looking funny in person. I also think the Nemesis would look neat but worry about the gaps in the spokes looking odd. I know sometimes seeing the wheel in person makes a difference. I live in a rural area and will mail order any that I get. The prices are about the same for all of them if I order the Centerlines from Summit or Boyds from Newstalgia. If I decide on Boyds I am going to try to get them to get me a better price. Their special this month is the Timeless for $197. Those who have first hand knowledge give me some help on this.

As soon as my Matrix's come in (supposed to be this week), I'll snap a pic of one and post it here on the forum Stacy.

Has anyone seen the Nemesis by Boyd or the Dagger by Centerline?

On the Centerline website, in their gallery...there is a Mustang with the daggers.

We're looking at the Nemesis or the Stingray's on my kid's blue coupe. (Personally I'd rather see TT-IIs or ralleys on it, but the kid wants something different.) :rolleyes:

I had not been to the photo gallery except for the first few cars. Never noticed the "more" button. I saw three with the daggers, I would have thought the spokes would have been smaller. I did see one with the five spoke Matrix. They look nice. MangeMD be sure to send or post some pics when you get yours.
