No offense, but what's with the red stripe on those? That's gotta go... looks too hood ride or rat rod or whatever the kiddies think is cool, these days. Are those the new EMPI (late to the party, as usual) ones? The all black concept is rather different, however.

How did the Centerlines lose out on this gig??  I've always loved the Centerlines!  This is my set soon to be fully polished and installed, rear tires will change though.

Me too man, more than any thing I want to get away from my 5 spokes for a while.  Even my next door neighbor has them on his '65 vert!   Cheesy

MAG Industries wheels Glenn! I saw them too but decided not to go for them - I need to clear parts, not buy more!  Cheesy There was a '69 cab on another forum with a set of them - they look spot on. Smiley

Yeah, those are the physical sizes, not the wheel measurement size! Wink I've seen them go for over £400, so they were a good deal if they didn't go for much more than I saw them for!

Too bad it has these Ansen style holes between the lugs, would look cleaner without it.

Mine for Project Oval...

Rears: Late 15X6 w/M&H DOT's

Fronts: 14X5.5 w/155R14 F560's

The 155R14's are about the same diameter as 135's

Since the 14's are going on an Oval, I think they will look good under the smaller wheel arches.

The finish on all wheels is original with only the black background repainted (thanks to Rayburn Grin)

I have a set of new silver anodized lugs that I'll try first to see how they look...

These wheels were done on a budget (14's are cheap!)

I'm very happy with the results Smiley

Nice combo! I like how the 14's look with late 6's Smiley

Dave, that will be one bitchen set-up. Can't wait to see the end result. So I take it your not using drop spindles. By the way, let me know how the oil cooler set-up is or will be.

Thanks guys!

The 14" wheels clear my Linkpin drop spindles... very close, but a miss is good as a mile Wink

Ted, no news on the cooler yet...
