Early A, 9”……if it was yours, take $ out of the equation, whats the best solution for brakes

It is personal taste, that is for sure. I do like the steelies and hubcaps on early to mid 60s cars but not so much for the say...69 and later cars that had more exterior trim and garnish.
I think the rallye and road wheel are excellent on just about anything from the mid 60s and later.
