Default Wheel options for the fastback 1966



HI team, here is picture of the car.. i'm looking at the etmags iii in 18's.


http://www.etmags.com/lt_iii.html

I wanted to keep the wheel price under $500.

I kinda want to keep a vintage look but need a 18" wheel for the brakes. I'm using a 13.88" rotor and six piston caliper.

Anyone else I should be looking at?

These are great wheels, I have them. Just recognize that the prices listed on the site are for "stock" configurations. Getting my 18x11 rears made with a special deep offset was a pretty penny. When it was all said and done my wheels with the custom setups cost around $3k. They do look awesome though and do fit a modern-vintage look if there is such a thing.

Are you looking at flaring the wheel openings or running something like an 18x9?

The ETIII is a great looking wheel for sure, I like the 5 spoke they offer as well.

I'm going to stick with an 18x8 maybe 9, not sure yet need to measure. I've got fiberglass front fenders but don't plan on changing to a bigger flare. Maybe few years down the line
