Depends on what size you want. I personally think smaller is better on older cars... get much bigger than 16 and it starts looking funny. These are my 14 inch Cragar Street Stars.

+1 on torqthrust. Here is mine with another company's version of the same thing, 15s.

I personally like the bigger rims. Many do not but i find it to be unique. Unlike all the others

I put 15's on mine. I got mine from Discount Tire in Glendale, AZ. They were real helpful in my selection especially since I had just lost my rear axle shaft and had to get them that day.

Thanks man. Yeah give them a look. They had a nice selection even for 4 lugs. I haven't converted mine yet. They made sure I was going to be happy with my decision and not just sell me on some crap to make a sale. They said most people go with the Torqs but I usually like to be different.

Maybe I'm a bit old school but I just love the look of Keystone Klassics!

Mam that's one sweet ride!! I noticed you have reverse lights. Are those aftermarket? Or? Mine don't have them !

Back up lights were an option in '65, standard in '66.

I have these two looks....
It's a matter of removing the caps and installing the rings or vice versa!
15 minutes!
If I buy another set, I'll buy the 'styled steel wheels' in a 15" size...
