New Billet Specialties to replace the cracked Americans. Went from 10' to 12" . It'll need a little flange trimming for good measure.

Looks killer...I was surprised the old Ugly wheels on my 64 were actually lighter than the V series that replaced them.

Looks nice Doug.  with that color of your car, you could also pull off gold or bronze coating too if you ever wanted to try something else.

That car sits perfect! One of my favorites on the board. I think the new wheels look great Doug.

I just got done wacking the inner lips flush with the frame, It'll take a little welding to attach what is left of the flange, No biggie. When I stretched the wheel wells the entire 1" wheel lip was refabbed. Now it's trimmed down to 1/2" at the top. Unless you bend down to look it'll never show. Now we have between 5/8"- 3/4" on all sides. I weld it up tommorrow. A little touch up inside the wheel wells and it's ready. It's amazing how much flatter the tread looks with the 12" wheel vs the 10". Raise the car? Never. If I didn't have to add weight to make 9.25 index in hot weather I'd lower it. If it can loose a few more pounds the 9.25 index may be history.

Absolutely beautiful ride-color, stance and wheels.
How wide is your rear end, mounting flange to mounting flange?
