agree rmodels post is not the same wheel. I like the one he posted better and I think they look great on a 66 if you have massive brakes under them!!

I'd be happy with the mag500's too.
Choices choices...I have no spare cash so its an easy decision for me
Good luck with your choice true66!!

here they are on a fastback

Those look like Cobra wheels off a 2000 Cobra R to me. They are different than the wheels that true66 posted.
you are right...those wheels are from a 2000 cobra r...how the hell did he fit those on there?

They look good if they're chrome, but I'd still go with the American Racing Torq Thrust II's, they're what's going on my 65' GT.

I haven't seen a 17" inch wheel that didn't look too big on 64 to 66, so I have to agree with Ideals.16's look good and 15 too IMHO.

I think they look too big and out of place on the 66. They may look a little better on a later model.
I agree. Classic Mustangs need to stick with correct sizes and wheels for the era unless you intend to make a freak out of a classic Mustang.

Yes, those are great as well as their cousins, Torque Thrust Ds (I just bought them but are not installed yet).

Here's a coupe with Torque Thrust Ds:



I just love that "Bullitt" nostalgic look of them.

Of course you know what I think, but really its what you in-vision the car looking like....and make it happen.
