No one likes the big wheels over there.  This site is quite a bit more forgiving in the wheel department.  I love big wheels personally as long as they go alonge with the theme of the car.

I like medium....

15" min, guessing 17" on the large side, but like Burdar said ... if it goes with the car... then maybe.. it's all opinion.

I am thinking about something like this. This is a new Chally, wonder what it would look like on a 72 Rallye Hood  :clueless: What do you guys think? I like it! I am thinking about building a non functional shaker, I just want it more like a hood scoop would work. Would still be on the motor not just attached to the hood.

Hmmm....at first glance it looks too busy but at second glance it actually looks pretty good because the angle of the R/T scoops seem to blend in with the angle of the leading edges of the shaker....not bad...  :2cents:  Doesn't look like it's a mix of R/T and shaker but like the R/T scoops are "assisting" the shaker for air intake.  (I know, it's not functional but no one else will know.  :smokin: )

Probably not for everybody. Luckily for me, I like to be different.

Definitely Dennis, I want mine to be unique. Some will probably not like me putting in a custom console, and a 10 inch subwoofer in the center of the rear seat. Along with the seven inch touch screen stereo, but it will be unique to me.

Might as well make it the way you want it and what's good for you.

You know when I see a combo of a factory scooped hood and another additional scoop, I can't help but to think of the patrol cars from Mad Max.  They have the factory Ford Falcon XB performance hood (like the scoops from a '71-73 Mach 1) and an additional scoop, I think similar to a modified L-88 scoop... pretty cool, IMO.
