With these I bought the 1" valve stems and use a gorilla lug nut/lock kit.


valve stems - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRD-4108/
lug nuts - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GOR-71983/?rtype=10 (I had the valve stems included on another set of rims)

stay away from cheap chrome plated cragars. i got the quicktrick I. look cool the first day and the second day they're rusted to crap. all four of them. you will have to clean them, on a daily basis to avoid it and that will only prolong the experience ... i was on a budget, but wil have to get a new set at some stage as it makes the whole car look crap

Thanks for all the help. Ive been looking on craigslist every day and haven't really found anything. I found some original gt wheels but they wouldn't look the way i want it to. I found some 10 hole rims like i have now but they are 5 lug. Im gonna keep looking and hopefully when i get everything together i can get pics up.

It's all a matter of preference. I went with these 17" rims and tires because the price was too hard to pass up for the whole package.

well i found some 17" mustang bullit rims for sale they are $275. Says they fit 94-04 v6 and v8 mustangs. Wheel size is 17x9 and they have bf goodrich G-Force T/A 245/45zr17 tires. Will they work? They look like they are in good shape from the pictures.

You will need spacers for them.

Without a doubt. 17-9 is pushing it for the front wheels. My guess is you'd want a 1-1/2" 5 X 4.5 spacer but don't trust my guess. Maybe someone with 17-9's can chime in.

Personally, I wouldnt fool with the late model wheels. They are ok, but I don't like using spacers and they are a bit too large looking and look out of place. Anything larger than 16 inch wheels looks out of place on 65-68 or really even on 69-70.
