Hope this works. But yea, 67's new wheels finally came in. KMC Novas, 17" front, 18" rear. Picture sucks but they look tits in person.

I love the wheelstyle myself, I was a bit worried that they'd be too new looking but they look great and will really flow well with the rest of the theme for the car I think. The center caps are probably going to stay that way. The wheels have a good bit of black to them, you just can't tell crap from the pics so there really isn't TOO much silver IMO. Iunno, I might mess with them when I get tired of how it is but thats going to be awhile. They're such and improvement over what I had on them.

Here's a stock photo of the wheels, you can see more of what I'm talking about with the black. Both of the cameras are on the fritz but my mom has a new point and shoot on the way so I'll get some better pics in a few days.

Like the wheels just not on the car sorry. Did you take a look at the Cobra's ?? My good friend that lives in Cali has a 69 that he is fixing up. He went with Cobra's

I wanted something different that you don't see everyday and these fit the bill perfectly plus they weren't overly expensive and they went well with what I want for the car. Although its not much to look at now, I have a lot of really extensive plans for the car and Cobra Rs would not fit well with it IMO. They're a very cheap looking wheel to me, if you get what I'm saying. I think they look good on that 69 and I've seen them on a few other classics and they look good, they're just not the style I'm shooting for.

first gens look sweet with upsized retro wheels.. bullits, machs, and the like.. ive always liked these novas, the first time i saw them, they were on a chevelle, and havent liked anything else on those cars since.

we put machs on my bros 641/2 and it is easily the coolest 65/66 ive seen in a good while.

(changed pic, this ones better)

New wheels on old cars rock. I'm a sucker for fastbacks but your coupe is sexy, duh!

Thanks for the compliments guys, I knew they weren't going to be everyones cup of tea but I'm fine with that. My mom's new camera ought to be in any day, as soon as they are, I'll get some better pics.

Needs to be lowered. Looks like your riding high on DONKS

It'll be slammed eventually on a Ridetech setup but thats big bucks. Its currently got a practically new Grab-A-Track setup under it so I'm not going to be changing that until I step up to the airride and that's going to be awhile. It looks a little higher but the fenderwells are filled out better so I'm happy with the stance for now. I've got to get the alternator fixed and im still waiting on my mom's camera to come in but after those two happen, I'll have some better pics.
