    Ordered wheels for the 65

    I won’t need them for a year probably, but figured I would avoid future price increase on stuff made in China
    Going with Shelby theme, so I got 15x7 ten spokes. Hoping I made the right choice.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    68 style, like my KR had on it.

    I like the way they look on mine - 15x7s from Branda

    Re: Ordered wheels for the 65

    My brother works at DiscountTire.  I asked him which wheel size has the most tire choices and he said 17 inch.  I also have 15 inch wheels on my car.  I prefer the look of the larger side walls for tires on most cars.  I hate the rubberband look on anything.

    1968 T-code Coupe with a 302.  Nice car, no show stopper for sure, but I like it.

    I think the 10-spoke Shelby wheels look good on any early Mustang.

    65 Fastback, 351W, 5-speed, 4 wheel discs, 9" rear,  R&C Front End.
