I guess they are ok....
 awesome!
Look at that, someone on this site buying wheels not made in China and that cost more than $99 each! W00t! We met Jason R at Sema, what a nice guy.

What's the deal with the titanium fasteners. Is this an option that I wasn't told about??

This is a tough decision Mark, I really like these, but to be honest I think I might like your other wheels better

I like the black ones, but not on the 68. The classic lines of the 1st gen clash with the "busy" feeling in the wheels with all the studs, black and chrome, etc.

For a newer style wheel on a classic car I think they look very good.
I'm still partial to some plain old silver rallys on a car like that though.

I like them but all the chrome hardware looks a little busy. Maybe they look better in person.

Your right on Chris...I plan on painting the chrome hardware black and adding black lug nuts so I can get rid of that "Bling" look! They do look better in person, which I'm sure you'll get to do soon enough!!

Yes, I still have the VWW V40's. I can always slap them on if I want that classic look and use the Rushforths for the pro-touring look!!

If you ever decide to move those wheels let me know first.

Can't wait to see that. In pictures I guess because you didn't say I get to see them in person. Guess I'm chopped liver now  . Should come to Wendys again so I can admire your eye candy and you can admire my local eye candy
