That's one I was considering. Looks like all of your choices are Boyd's, are you sticking to his or looking at others too?
Reason I ask is we went with these
Very close to the smoothie II's but chrome, not polished like the smoothie's. They're about $145 less expensive too.

I like #3. I would have gone with these instead these FOOSE wheels, had I known about them at the time...The styles are about the same, but I would have rather have the "smooth" look instead of the bolted on together look.

That's one thing I like about this forum, we can have our own opinion. For me the price was a big deal, $600 is a lot of money to me. Especially when I'm putting rims on my wife's daily driver. We don't need the best. We need the best for the money.
Honestly, I hadn't even noticed the one's on the PT until I'd already ordered these. But still like them even if they are on PT's.
The one thing I do disagree with you on is that, to me at least, they are very similar styles. The one I chose does look less like the Cragar's than the smootie, but the smoothie has its differences too.
We all do what we think looks and works best for us!

I have #3!!!!!!!
They do give a "Retro/Street Rod/Hot Rod" look that I wanted. Although, all the Boyd Wheels will give similar look.
The Smoothie II, are hard to keep clean, and that number 1 version, look like they wold be easier to keep clean. Smothie II's, spokes have a tight crease, that collects crud and hard to get too, where spoke and outer rim connect!!
All the Boyd Wheels are Nice!
