You should make a poll but I prefer the middle one, the 1st looks more 70's to me and the 3rd one would be OK with maybe a cool center emblem.
Does the 3rd one clear our disc brake spindle?

Here is a real life pic from when I was making the same decision.

For me after trying/using all of them the mexican hats always win

I say left one. Left one was 68 up ralleys middle was only used in 67 and I don't think the right was ever used by the factory and is an aftermarket creation.

I always liked the (center) disc brakes caps, even though when I had rallyes on the car, I had the flat police/ corporate style caps with the bowties in the center. They're all cool, and what may not look great on one car, would look super on another. I also had the sombrero caps early on with no trim rings.

Longroof , You wouldn't happen to have a couple of those police caps laying around, I think they will fit over my 3" lugs. What do you think?:cool:

I wanted to make this thread a " Poll " , but I forgot how to do it, and didn't remember seeing the option when I was creating it. Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. Keep the opinions coming. I am going to have 2 sets of wheels for Project "Laid Back" - A set of street/strip Rallys, and a set of 17/18" modern aluminum wheels. Thanks Turna for the real world pics w/ tires mounted. I agree Jack, all 3 are cool, but here's my opinion... The Sombrero is just too common with the Rally setup. I really like the Power Disk Brake cap, as it's a good mix (a little lower profile) between the Sombrero & 9C1, BUT i won't have a power brake booster ( I'm going manual disc brakes ), so kinda like I'm lying... So that leaves me the 9C1. I like the smooth lower profile ( less obtrusive ), and as stated above.. I would add BUICK emblem/stickers to the center. Can anyone Photoshop that for me?? I'm thinking the Tri Shield logo with BUICK underneath... OR Tri Shield logo with 455 underneath. Any input??
