How do you think these would look?? - 11/30/2007 8:24:50 AM    109jb Posts: 363 Joined: 10/10/2007 Status: offline I have been thinking about wheels for my 1970 fastback and came across these.  They are NASCAR style wheels and I was thinking they might look pretty good and sort of unique, although the yellow strip would have to go.  My car is going to be a medium blue metallis or pearl with a silver hood stripe.

RE: How do you think these would look?? - 11/30/2007 6:42:26 PM    cmanf Posts: 634 Joined: 12/5/2006 Status: offline Its the cut and style just look like trailer wheels to me make them white and youll see. There is a 69 on here with black wheels that looks fantastic. Im not against the black I just think these look cheap. Not trying to dig at you I am a Graphics biz owner and do a lot of design work in museums and showrooms. The key elements to my eye with you car is the flow it has These dont flow makes it look choppy . IMO (in reply to shr) Post #: 15

Im still looking into different styles on my 66 coupe but for know im running with 17" grey bullets from a 2001 Mustang. Give these a thought they would look schweet on yours! http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=6727 < Message edited by cmanf -- 11/30/2007 7:00:59 PM > (in reply to 109jb) Post #: 18
