What do you guys think?

eBay Rims

Let me know, as I am considering putting these on a 65 I am restoring to look like a red 66 GT.

Hey there rmodel65,

Do you have any shots directly from the side? I'd like to see the stance.

Also, if you don't mind of course, any photos from the rear as to see if the wheels are sticking out the side?

You can tell me to go shove it if you like..... ;-)

I'm just trying to get a good idea before I drop a $grand.

They look nice but they are being flooded out and I see more and more stangs with them. The wife has been looking at wheels for a few weeks and has decided on the Vintage 50 wheels for her 67. Thinking 16x8s on the rear and 15x7s on the front. Its a tough call though which wheels to go with. Good luck!

I've never liked the high-backspacing rims like that on classic cars. I'd much rather pick up a set of TT II's, which are essentially what those are molded after. More stylish wheeland you get the vintage RWD backspacing.

Hey Starfury, you have a link to the TT II's?
