I would probably look at the styled steel wheel also.

Soarings pic is a little far to see detail, but I like the Magnum 500 53 series too

My favorites for the classic Stang are American Racing Torque Thrust D's.

I just purchased a set myself, they are not in place yet due to having new suspension/spring being installed at the moment.

I think they look so cool...check out this short video clip, they are on the left red colored Mustang:

Steel Style Wheels are nice too, especially if you want to go with the more stock look, but if you want a bit more of a restomod look, I highly recommend Torque Thrust D's.

Cragars, Mag 500, Steel Styled, and AR TT 2's or D's are all good wheels. Personally, I'm going for a restomod look so I think I'm gonna put a set of '04 Mach 1 rims on mine.

Cragar's or American Racing Torque Thrust. That's what my wife wants on hers eventually, and I like the way that they look as well. I just don't like the idea of paying for them right now.

Up close and personal with Mag 500's. I am currently running with the original wheels, but in my estimation either the Mag 500's or the styled steel wheels are period correct.

Can't go wrong with Craiger SS's - I mean, it just screams old school.
