I figure everybody likes to see new wheels. I sold my Coys C-55's earlier this year and just got these put on. They're Cragar Eliminator 500's, 17x7 front and rear. Tires are 225/45 front and 235/45 rear. I'm extremely happy with how they turned out!

That's what I was going for with these. They're not an exact replica of the 65-66 Shelby Cragars but I think they favor them a lot. Obviously, it's not a real Shelby so I'm not trying to pull off an exact replica or anything.

Thanks everybody for the kind words.
