I'm more a traditionalist when it comes to classic cars and wheels. I'll go with bigger rims, say 17s for an earlier Mustang and maybe 18s for a 69/70, but those look too modern imo. Then again, it is your car and I'll support your right to chose.

To each his own I say. Check this sweetie out 18X10 rear, 18x8.5 front, no tubs or serious mods.

I like them. A little modern but you are the one spending the cash.

I like these a lot and think they would look great on a Mustang. Don't be afraid to step outside the box. It's good to be different. Just make sure the wheel fits the style and look that you are giving the car throughout.

Photoshop them onto a picture of your car then post that. I like the look of the wheels but you really need to see them on the car. Plus there are enough cars out there with the original look. It's nice to see something different sometimes.

I'm going with the FR500's. I'm going to put 295's in the rear.
