Wheels are on!!

After 5 different rims, 3 different tires, we finally chose the perfect setup my stang. Huge thank you to the guys at T&T tires for doing all the swapping and letting us figure out what we liked.
Its 95% done from a complete and full restoration, all thats left to do is adjust the clutch and replace the starter.
What do ya think of the wheels/tires?? Put 16s front and 17s back.

Looks really good. The wheels are flashy but not garish.

If you'd like some honesty: It looks ghetto.

Car looks great... Chrome looks a little blingy for my taste but to each his own.

Restoration look fantastic.

I feel like it needs to be lowered and it will look perfect.

Its actually polished, I didn't want the chrome because of the whole rust/flakes issue.
And it is supposedly going to sit about 1-2 inches lower once I take it out and break the suspension in. This was its first time on the road in 4 years (got to love the paint/body shop. 6 months turns into a decade).

Yeah, definitely needs a drop. Not sure if the suspension will really settle that much but hopefully it will...

The paint looks great in the pics. I cant see how those wheels can be classified as "ghetto" since theyre a classic style....def drop it.

Excuse my ignorance when it comes to stangs but I thought the qtr vents faced the opposite direction.

Had to look up garish.

def: excessively or disturbingly vivid

So I agree with your input.

Always learning.
