. but the Convos. 

Yeahhh, after looking at both sets I'm thinking the Convos would look good on the 68 I'm building (especially with the dark blue metallic paint I'm using). Too bad I didn't live closer. If Bill was selling them I would take them off his hands.

Sorry NH, but the Convo's aren't going anywhere. 
I keep them as a second set for the "Day 2" look.

Not a problem. I'm thinking about going with 17" or 18"'s. But that decision can wait until a later date. What are you running for tire sizes on your other cars??

Sure. 
The Convo's were mounted on 295/50/15's on the rear & 235/60's for the front.
My '69 has 245/40/18's on the front and 295/35/19's on the rear.
My '70 just has 15" rallye's on it with repro F-60 Polyglas GT's.

That is a massive improvement Bill. I like.

Hi Bill,

Love both looks, but the convo's are more appealing to me as that is the set I want for my build. I know your tire sizes (295/50/15 rear 235/60/15 fronts), but what are the rim sizes, offsets and back spacing (if you don't mind sharing that is)?

Of course I don't mind sharing! 
Rears are 15x10 with a 5" backspace.
Fronts are 15x7 with a 3-3/8" backspace.
Both were off the shelf availability from Centerline, bought them years ago thru Summit. They fit fine with no rubs.
