My cousin and I are in debate over whether or not SS wheels were offered on 68 cars. I don't think they were. Does anyone know for sure? Im just curious

 

yes they were although i dont think they were refered to as "SS" wheels but as stly steel wheels as were the 65-67, but yes they were offered as an option, early cars came with a trim ring on them while the later ones were a one piece wheel, an could be ordered in all chrome or in a lot of cases painted argent. hope it helps

 

Doesn't SS stand for style steel? I don't know.....just thought I would ask for future reference. Here is an aftermarket 14" style steel wheel. Looks very similar to my Mag 500's.

 

Yeah, I was just saying SS instead of typing out styled steel. So they were an option through 68?

 

I guess so. At least according to this.

"Fact: styled steel wheels are part of the 68-69 GT equipment group."

yeah, but they didn't look like the ones on a 65-67 mustang..... If i remember correctly.

 

You may be right, but Ideal was asking about the 68.

 

The SS wheel on a 68 looks entirely different than the 65-67. I have the 67 (blue center cap vs red on 65 and 66) and the 68 looks completely different. Here's the 67:

GLen thats what i was saying. They had them in 68, they just didn't look like the ones most people are familar with.

 

I'm talking about the ones like in mugsy's picture. The 68's had the chrome ones with the little dogdish hubcap in the center, right?
