Actually it was shot with a Canon xti, which is about $800...but I had to diminish the quality so that the file would fit on this site. I didn't know they sold these types of cameras at Wal-Mart....sorry I don't have time to master photoshop like some people on this site. Love the coupe by the way. What is thefactory name of that color?

No they fit just fine....and soaring knows that....he's just expessing his personal taste on the matter
True. My personal taste is for a no more than asixteen on the 65-66.If you want a 17 on a 65-66, then you are looking at a bastard imo and you are going to have to make some serious modofications to make them work.
No mods needed at all to fit 17's on the first gen mustangs.My 66 has 17x7 all around and no problems. and no changin anything except that shes lowered 2.5 inches

ooh ok. I'd think it would look killer with your new paint. I'd say tint the windows a little bit and it'd look even sweeter.

I think that "black chrome" wheel would look stunning with that color. Nice contrast. Just figure out the sizing and all that and it will be nice!

Who are you talking to me or Soaring? 19stang66, I was planning on tinting my windows too. By the way I love your car! Thanks for all the input guys, I really think it would look good too.

How do you guys think 17" black chrome wheels like these would look on mycar?

Per your sig, you have a Mustang GT. I'll assume that the elements of the original package are there, the stripes, fender badges, exhaust trumpets, fog lights and no quarter trim or rocker moulding. MY OPINION is that these wheels will not look good on your car. That is not to say that I don't think they are sharp wheels or won't look good on another Mustang, but you have a Mustang GT. If that thing is not screaming out for styled steel wheels, you're not listening.

Seriously, I'd keep it to myself if you said "look at my new wheels." In this case, you are soliciting opinions on how they would look on a '65 GT. Oh yeah, forget the tinting too. Real GTs are somewhat rare.
