Default tire/wheel combo

Looking to purchase new wheels/tires on my '67 mustang and was wondering what some of you are running on yours. Right now I'm kind of looking at the foose legends or torq thrust II's.

Im a fan of the torque thrust II's, polished not chrome for that old school look. Foose legends are nice but over priced and a bit too modern looking. I would go with Coy c5's over the foose legends IMO.

Those wheels look excellent on that car.

I agree I don't care for any of the Foose stuff on classics at all and it is overpriced.

Personally, I love the Magnum 500s with white letter tires. I also like the 65 66 67 styled steel chrome wheels. They look alot like the Magnums but more classic and less muscle.

I also like the original torque thrust wheels as well as Keystones and Cragar SS.

The Coys look ok, but they are not my favorite.

torq thrusts are soooooo overdone, be different, go with something else

When I was deciding on wheels for my '67 coupe, I photoshopped some rims onto a profile picture of my car.

Wheels off my wife's '04 GT Convertible
Some aftermarket "new style" magnums
Magnum 500s
Style Steel Wheels
Shelby 10 spoke
Keystone Klassics
Slotted Mags

I now have the '67 convertible with 16" Cragar SS

Lots of cars have torque thrusts...because they look good:P They're stylish without being to flashy, and a lot of them are fairly period-correct. TT II's for a modern look, TT D's, TTO's, and Vintage Wheel Works' Vintage 45's for the classic look.
