RE: Come on in for some advice
Lucafu, this guy came on here to get opinions. Glen is an old timer who likes his stangs like they were back in the day and that is just one mans opinion. If you dont want good and bad opinions then simply dont post.

why do you continue to bash people for modding/changing their mustang and making their car what they want?
ORIGINAL: Soaring
You are right, I don't like the Outlaw II wheels. And, it doesn't matter what classsic car they are put on. Why do you guys constantly want to put ugly wheels on great classic cars?

Make sure everything on it works. Get rid of the air shocks, you dont want a stink bug look. Figure out where you want to go with it, daily driver, fun toy for cruisin, something that hauls, or maybe a car that turns corners.
Dont add a big wing, dont add spinners, dont put vinyl stickers all over it, dont put on 13" spokes with tiny tires stickin out the fenders 9", dont throw a body kit on it, and dont think that putting a Supra or Skyline engine in it will make it fast. The worst thing you could do would be puttin a chevy in it.
I cant even decide what to do with all of mine, I just know what not to do and how not to get bored with it and sell it.
Ah... Glen doesnt like the Outlaw II wheels... hhhmm maybe another photoshop is in order.. I happen to have some on the GTO..lol...

Shifty, bigger wheels may help with handling a bit, but will slow you down a bit in a straight line. 14" rims are a perfect fit for those classics, I wouldn't go bigger than a 15" unless I had to make room for brakes. The Grab-A-Trac kit from www.mustangsplus.com with the KYB's is a great buy and will greatly improve the handling of the vehicle all around. I don't know if you have it or not, but a rack and pinion steering rack, if not a power steering system is also a good investment, not that there's anything wrong with manual, but where I live dodging the idiots driving next to me is hard enough with power steering. I had a guy the other day try and cut into my lane while he was right next to me and even after laying on my horn he was still trying to get in. As dumb of a move as it was I held my ground and didn't let him in. Had he hit my car (mind you this is my DD not my stang) he would have been a quarter of the man he was before.

Where do you guys come off with I am bashing the guys car? He asked for opinions of where to start, and I told him to get rid of the wheels. And, Slickman, you can restomod your car all you want to and still stay on here and discuss classic mustangs with us.

+1 in soarings defense. maybe those rims do work....but they ain't working on that car! He's not bashing anything...you gotta find rims that just jive with your ride. for some people, old magnums or the styled steels work well, for others its chrome bullits and torque thrusts. It's all a matter of picking rims that go with the rest of the car and these ones just look too stuck on...the size and stance of the current rims just aren't working.

But back on topic here....honestly when you look at the wheels currently on this stang, you gotta admit they don't jive.
