They worked great on the rear of my 65 so no problem with the 69. Do some reserch on price. There is many better deals than Jeg's. Mine where chrome for less money.

I have them on the back of my 70 only they are 15X8 with 4.5" bs. Don't need 5" (I believe) unless you are planning on P295 50R tires. With 4.5" bs the P275 60R's fit nicely. I left the stock 14X7's on the front.

One caviat to these Wheel Vintiques SS wheels. I have not had the problem because I don't use my car as a daily driver and if I happened to get wet (happened twice) I wash/rinse and dry complete car immediately, but at least one person complained about the wheels "bleeding" rust out the seems (center part to outside rim).

Hope this helps

Robert thanks for the picture - but I am a little concerned about the rusting, because I will drive the car alot. :/
