 Yea, the silver wheels look better.  :Twocents:

I agree with Foreman and ACUDA the silver wheels look better IMO have you thought of going for a 17 front and a 18 rear? have you thought of going wider in the rear like 275 or wider?
Awesome 72 btw along the lines of what I want to do with my 72  :2thumbs:

I disagree - I think the black ones look better if you only consider the wheels.  The grey/silver look better in the pics, but only because they've got a lot more sidewall on the tires.  If you got some meatier tires on the black ones, I think that would be a much better look overall.  Thin sidewall tires just don't look right on these cars, IMO.

I think if the silver ones were black, then that would be better still  :Twocents: I dont like the spinner things on the black wheels I agree with defiance about the tires I like 50 plus sidewalls 40-45 can be ok but prefer more if possible. 72Charger400 do you have the specs on the black wheels width and backspace etc? thanks  :2thumbs:

Hey guys thanks for the input. Both tires are about 27" tall but, the wheel to tire/ratio on the silver ones look better. For bigger than stock wheels 17's are probably the best and 18's are the limit IMO. The silver wheels are 05 Mustang Gt wheels and the black ones are 09 Bullitt Wheels. The Gt's are 8" wide with a 6.295" backspacing and a 1.771 (45) offset and the Bullitts are 8.5" wide and have an 6.82" Backspacing and a 1.968" (50mm) offset. I had to use a 2'' adapter to make either of the wheels fit. The cars been sitting with the silvers for a long time so i had to switch it up a little.(For motivational purposes) :lol: Im undecided on which looks better, i like the classic look of the silver but the black is more aggressive. Also I plan to put on wider tires with taller sidewalls in the future, but these tires haven't even been driven on so they stay for now. I've been trying to find a cool center cap for a while if you have any ideas let me know.

It's all good - I'm in a similar boat.  I love my black wheels, but my tires are too low profile...  but they're goign to stay that way for now :)  Next time I'll get them a bit fatter.

Just realized I hadn't posted my car in here yet.. 73 SE with 383.  Very reliable fun weekend car that I tinker with when I can.  Hopefully paint this Spring.. can't decide if I want to stay with this color combo or go to flat / hot rod black.
