I know there aren't going to be many fans of this conversion. But I like it. Gives the car a bit more edge. They also look more the part with 10 holes instead of 8. Carey's new 4 lug wheels also seen on TRahn's car but in silver. Look more like an early 60's wheel. Plan on doing more black accents. I have a hard top that will be painted black before the winter.

It does "butch" it up some.

You might want to try some baby moons instead of the flat crest caps. Take a look at Tom Murtaugh's speedster.

Terry - Sadly baby moons won't fit on Carey's new wheels. I am actually surprised how much I like the flat crest caps.

Phil, those wheels definitely give the car a different look. I like it.
