Call Saleen parts (800-888-8945) and ask them if they have any specials on the Take-off wheels. I bought mine there a year ago and I got a smokin deal. I think it was like $500including shipping. I had to call and ask if they were running a special though.
I sold the tires on Craigslist for $400 and bought new 235/45/17. The stock tires are too tall.

heres my stang. the wheels are from an 05. theyre a little different from the 01-04 and the replicas you mentioned.





heres the TTIIs. i think the majority of the members here would reccomnd the TTIIs rather than the gray ones.

So let me get this straight - the 05 rims fit the 65 mustangs? Do you have to buy spacers?

By the way, your ride looks awesome! Did you do anything to the suspension to make it sit that way? Or is that stock?

You will definitely need 1.5" spacers due to the offset.
I got mine on ebay for ~ $120.

Well, at first I was going to go sotck red. Then I saw a metallic light blue I liked. Then I saw a mettalic dark gray that I liked. And now I am back to making it look stock red.

So to answer your question, I'm not 100% sure. ;-)

Any suggestions?

Okay, well IMO they would look good with all those colors. If you are doing something out of the box, purple for example, I dont think they would look good.
