I like the cragars better but think they would be better in 17's. I have a friend with a 79 hurst and the 17's and it looks great. thats just my opinion though.

I forgot to say that if you use the Cragars it is a good idea to paint the brake drums and caplipers. I have seen too many rims not look as good as they should because of a rust drum or caliper behind it. When I painted mine I first sanded off the excess rust off the drum and rinse it with water. After you are done and the drum was dry I applied a coat of Primer. Once the primer dried up I painted the drum with engine paint and waited for it to dry. Also once the wheel is removed I suggest you paint the inner fender wells. I used oil based black house paint and a paint brush. Its already been 2 years since I got the rims and both paints are still good.
