I like 'em but I sure think your car looks spectacular with those Custom Sport wheel covers too.

Thank`s Carl
It`s not that I don`t like the Custom Sport covers, I just want to try something different.
I might try them for a few day`s and will probably end up going back to the stock wheels.

That's the beauty of a wheel swap, so easy to reverse it in a heartbeat.

I really do like the classic styling on those mags. The thing that keeps me thinking the stock look is best is that it seems like EVERYBODY and his dog has those big honkin' wheels on their classic cars these days. To me, the cars that stand out the most look stock!

OK Carl you talked me out of my American Racing daisy wheels but I'm still getting dual exhaust put on. I just can't decide what mufflers to use.

Looks awesome in the yellow paint and black interior.. Nice and clean car on the pics .. Nice to see another 65 c/s is on the planet ... I own mine now since 20o2 and still makes the special feeling whenever you start the car for car show or cruise around the summer

HI Ron, your car looks very nice and stock so i don`t hope you add any modern 20" rims to that old lady ...these cars looking like Hot wheels from matchbox .....

how about a set of Impala 65 2" drop coil spindles and a set of Camaro / Firebird 67-88 Rally wheels II ? I tried many wheels ...Crager SS looking great to the Parisienne ...but finally i go with the RW in 15" ...with a good repaint job they looking awesome and better than any allow wheel

Its your decission but perhaps i can give you the idea ;) 

 

Here is "my car of month link".. some years old but perhaps you like, too....

 X2.

Those Daisys would look better on a car with rounder body lines.

The 65 was such a good looking car. Sitting they looked ready to get up and go, particularly the hardtops, while the convertibles always looked elegant. Pick a color - didn't matter. Add the 396. WOW!

The 200S might be okay if it had the grey/unpolished spoke/polished rim. You may also want to look at the new Cragar Eliminators as they are period perfect.

Well my thought anyway! Love the color on your car.
