Re: give me some feedback
I think they look good, but I have 16" wheels on my EM too.

Re: give me some feedback
I have a background in architecture and engineering, so the "form and function" thing resonates with me. Big wheels were needed to clear big brakes. When I see a lot of air around the brakes, I cringe. So, in my opinion, put bigger brakes on or ditch the wheels.
I have seen some low profile wheels where the wide white wall was part of the rim. Looked for all the world like a big squishy tire.

That's what I'm planning for my '63 as well. 16"855r wrote:I think they look good, but I have 16" wheels on my EM too.

I agree that the 20's look too big. The fronts aren't bad.2aftercannonball wrote:So now it's going painted , we started the teardown last night.
Btw, thanks for the feedback. The 18x7 fronts fit and look good to us, but the 20x9 rears are too big.

I had 17"s all the way around on my 65 which I liked allot, but if I was to do it again I would go 18" rear and 17" front.

It's always tough making a wheel look good on a classic car. I think these are a bit much.

I' usually those kind of wheelset on a classic, thinking they are rough on such elegant car....but i' must recognize that this works pretty good on ur ride, and after all it's Just a matter of few minutes to change them if you feel bored...
