Finally got my 17x8s on the '68!!!

Check it out, I finally got the 17x8's from a 96 GT to fit on my wife's 68 coupe. I ended up using 1" wheel adapters in front.

Centercaps

Oh yeah, the center caps are on order

They look really good...kind of a modern flair for vintage steel. anything is better than the 14" wheels...except maybe spinnaz, yo.

Not great, not horrible. I give them a 'meh'

But it's your car, so if you like them

 

[J-Scratch]

honestly they look so-so.

nice car.

 

[syberjunkie]

I kinda think they look cooler without the center caps. I like it. I think old iron look better when you can see the lug nuts.

 

[TampaStang]

I think they look great!

 

[68_stanger]

I like em

 

[vobraman]

where did you get the spacers from and how much ? Did you put a spacer on the front only ?
wheels lok ok to me, besides they look much better than stock one's.
thanks

I like them w/o the center caps. Cancel the order.

 

[Penguin]

They look good... and different.

IMO those rims never looked that great on a '96 and unfortunately even the beautiful lines of a '68 can't make them look "great". If the price was right, the swap is better than 14s that's for sure LOL

looks good-

I like the way they look on the car. They aren't a "me too" choice. They have a roughness about them that I find appealing. Somewhat like an older "mag" wheel or something.

I think they look pretty good, but you NEED those center caps dude.

FWIW, I know alot of people are going this way (for a reason), but I've seen used 17x8 Bullitt wheels with almost new tires go for $400 a set online. Can't beat that, and their look on classics is awesome.

 

[vobraman]

spacers on front only or rear also ? where can I get a set of spacers for a good price ?
thankx

Great looking wheel and tire combination. Looks really nice on the car.

 

[Max Power]

I prefer the offset of traditional wheels. But they still look pretty good.

 

[CochinoFilipino]

I like em. Now you just need to lower the front and/or raise the rear to get a nice stance

Bullit wheels would look better, but they look OK.
