Which one do you think look better on a GT/CS assuming close to stock tires.There is the Standard and Deluxe wheelcover for 1968.

Post here your opinions

Chrome GT styled wheels for us!

I definitely love the look of the chrome GT styled wheels, and we're just cleaning up a set or 5 that I bought and will have them installed before the Northwest Mustang Roundup road trip in July. I'll post pictures in the gallery when we get them onto the car ....
:wink:
The rolled tip GT dual exhausts are just being installed right now too ....
:grin:

Definitely S/S. I prefer the Argents for light colored cars, chrome for dark cars. (Only use GT center caps if it IS a GT.)

I had the deluxe wheel covers with white sidewalls for many years, finally got my chrome styled steel wheels. Then wanted to go back to a sportier look so I put on the B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's. I have the GT center caps because I like 'em.

I'm with Steve with the Shelby 10 spoke rims - second choice would be the chrome SS rims.

GT centre caps ....

Yep, our car's Marti report states that it was a factory optioned "GT" GT/CS, so we're going with the chrome wheels, trim rings, and the GT centre caps.
Gotta love 'em!
:wink:
Those mag wheels are coming off ...... probably by next week!
:grin:

The nice thing is that it is a simple bolt-on so use whatever YOU like.
