Are the Cragar SS wheels the best looking option for 1967-70 Darts?

I know this is strickly an opinion based question, but I need to get some new wheels for my fathers 69 swinger. He currently has the Cragar ss which we purchased 20 years ago, i would lkie something a bit differnet, but nothing seems to look and fit quite as nice as these. I do like the series 61c, but they only come in 18" and will problaby not fit. Post up what you got, lets see some other

I'm an old school Cragar SS guy. Back in high school (early 70's) everyone who could afford them had cragars.

I know there's some division on black steelies, but I got a deal on these with new tires. Black 17x7's with moon dish center caps. I don't really care for the moon dishes. I think they would look better with poverty caps, but that's my opinion.

Keystones for Mopars, Crager SS for GM cars. Oh well, that's how it was in my neck of the woods.

post 32, 50, 56 and maybe 60 are the only SS pics? Yeah, that shows they are not really that popular. I see quite a few Radirs , torque thrusts, and other non chrome 5 spoke that look much better than the thick 14 cragar SS's. I like the satin Centerlines for a modded look and the Rallyes for the refined stock look and of course painted steelies with poverty caps for the stock look, but Ill do a hard pass on 14 Cragar SS's. I like the SST's better but keystones are out in my book BUT its your car, do what you like as your the final judge.
 
I was a Dick Landy fan so most of my Mopars have had Cragars. I think they look just fine.

The G/T is my favorite with the flat black spokes and polished rim.

There is no right answer. Use what you like.

I am a fan of Magnum 500s, doing the front suspension now but I like these with the qq1.

I'm 75 and 1972 the guy who was my age now said "Son everything looks good in SS Cragars" It was true in 72 and I still believe it today in 24. By the way they were on his 67 R/T

I love em no matter the wheels or hubcaps but like most things we all have preferences. That said I like to see full wheel covers such as these on such a nice looking GTS which is top dog for a 69 dart. Kinda like a nice looking woman all dressed up wearing old running shoes. Still I wouldn't pass up a chance to take her out. Bottom line it would be kinda boring if we all like the same thing.
