What do guys/gal think about these wheels for my 65?

Available in 15x7 or 16x7. (Im leaning 16.)

Centerline's are all Made in USA which is a bonus.

This is their 915, "Retro" model. 4 inch backspace. 2 pc aluminum. They are available in all chrome, but that's not for me.

I know this will be a little too modern for some, but just wanted to see what people think. I like it because it is somewhat old style, somewhat new.

Oh, car will be Ivy Green in the very long term. Short term, crappy primer with stripes (I know... I know...)

Go 16

lunarweasel · 04-04-2009, 09:55 PM

I think I will; I have no problem with 15's though. 17's are too much for a first gen.

What size tires are you going to get?

lunarweasel · 04-04-2009, 10:12 PM

205 front (not going to push the boundry there, gen 1's are tight, and I don't want to roll fenders).

225 rear. I am considering 235 if they do a 4.5 bs 16x8. I dont think they do though.

I run 205s in the front and 235s in the rear. 235s bulge some on the 16x7s. You shouldn't have a problem running them. I did because I had rims with 4.2" backspacing and a 1" spacer.

to bad you cant do 15x8 with a 4" backspace. they have 1 set on an overstock sale for $169/wheel

I really like those. They are retro but different. I like the nice simple un-busy design and the black center area. I would say get them and in the 16" version

Here ya go, bud. Not phenomenal because it took me like 6 mins, but enough to give you an idea.
