Congrats on the ride bro... looks good! I'll eventually upgrade but my 65 currently rolls on 15x7 styled steel wheels with white letter BFGs.

They're subtle and aggressive on the Shelby's but I'm not sure they'd go well with my car being that it's not fast by any means lol. They remind me of how blacked out rims are in today's generation of muscle cars.
Do you mean the GT350 wheels? Those are almost black in the windows between the "spokes". Pretty similar to the 4th pic.

Yes, I guess they're the GT350's...
Not sure how they'd look on my car though. I've only seem these on FBs.

And if I kept my rims as-is and just replaced my white walls for raised letter tires, this is how the rim/tire combo would turn out.

Either the styled steel with raised white letters, or chrome magnum 500's.

I like mine a lot. Simple and didn't break the bank with keeping a classic look.

actually the total wheel and tire package cost difference is very little. Magnum 500 and styled steel wheels are not all that cheap when adding the caps and lugs etc..
If you want exact sizes and details pm me I would be glad to help.

How about wait and get what you really want. If you want the Shelby rims, just wait and get what you really want???

Well, that's the problem...I don't know what wheels I "really" want (hence the reason for this thread). The Shelby wheels were always nice to me but its not Luke I "really want" them in opposed to the others I posted pics of.
