18" Wheels on a '68 Coupe

[Mosesatm]

I know I'm getting old and I don't understand the need for mega-wheels but aren't the driver's side wheels on this car a little too big?

Nope, the wheels are fine... You're just getting old ;-) ;-) ;-)

The wheels are ugly, but this car would be a good start for a Green Hornet clone.

Like the 19"s better!

I like the black 19"s better! That car is nice. Just goes to show that the CS/Shelby style looks great, even on 18" or 19" BLING.

Motor looks a little whimpy and the engine area needs some detailing tho.

Old? Whats old?
Old is as old does.

Old has nothing to do with it. Those wheels are ugly no matter what your age. I'm with ya Arlie!

I have to agree with the wheels being fugly. Just my opinion, but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

You guys are slowing up, nobody noticed the missing engine bay parts. There is no export brace, or the stock braces from the shock towers to the firewall. Not very safe, or good for the shock towers. Lets hope he hasn't been doing any spirited driving.

Yeah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. What is pertty or cool to someone - is ugly and terrifying to someone else.. Nice job with the wheels there Tim!!

...Scary indeed! I've had to repair shock towers (in my youth) with braces on. 'Lots of winding poorly slanted roads here. Interesting... As for the wheels - I'd never do that to a real CS, but as this is a restomod - those wheels help to take it beyond confusing this car as the real deal. If it weren't made to look like a CS, I don't think anyone here would really care...
