I finally finished up the wheels on my '68. I'm still running P24560R15s on the car.

David,

Those look great!

I only wish they would make those in 16" and 17" (well, not just mustang/mopar pattern).

I'm probably going to get a set with the finalization of my Yenko clone.

Harold,

Thanks! I'm really happy with the way they turned out. They actually made a big difference in the handling of the car, if you believe that. The car had uni-lug wheels on it with the wrong offset. I had to actually trim the rear lips inside to run them. But they came with the car, so no comlaints. BUT, I noticed the car is a lot less apt to follow the grooves and "dart" around on me now. I'm thinking the unilug wheels did a poor job of staying true on the hub as well as moving around in general.

The white stuff is substance little known in the south parts of the country. Actually, we've gotten very little this year ourselves.

Freddy,

They are Z-28 wheels: 15x7 with the 4 1/8" offset I believe. I had them blasted and then shot them gunmetal gray out of the rattle can..

I knew I'd pay for making fun of the WHITE STUFF on the ground. We got 8" of it over night. Sure am glad it's Saturday.

Do you have a spoiler at the back? Or is that just something in the background?
