Yeah, I have a buddy that has a '66 442 with Cragers and everytime he has his tires rotated or changed, he has problems with the service guys getting the wheels back on correctly!

Paul I like the upgrades that you put on your LeMans. I really enjoyed the one I had back in '67. I often wished I still had it. It's the car we brought our first two kids home from the hospital in, but when the third one came along, it was replaced by a station wagon Great kids, lousy car.

Is the color on your car a factory color for '66. I don't recall it, but I like it.

Thanks!

Its factory for 65 and 66. Its called Blue Charcoal. Not many of them around for some reason. A lot of people like it today but maybe they didnt in 1966??

I got my 67 in 1968 and it had the full size wheel covers. Shortly after, I bought a used set of ET gray five spoke mags. They are still on it today. What do you thinmk?

Shifty, yer ETs look pretty dam good too.

I've had no problems with the old style Cragars on my GTO. They don't loosen up and I've had them off a few times. No problem getting them back on either.

They still look good! I like the gray wheels on white or gray cars. Of course I like them on Montrieux Blue too.

I like the ETs. Look great. I've always liked the satin gray or satin black spokes with polished edges type mags better than shiny chrome types.
