Default messed up wheels

Well guys, i think i screwed up my rims when i spun out and pulled the tires of the rim. I went to balance them, and they dont balance right. I bent them or something.[:@] oh, it's the back two btw

Probably didn't have enough air pressure in them, or you hit a cement something to get the dent in the wheels. Dang kids just can't stay out of the carb can you?

Looks like:
1. Repro style steel wheels from ebay or mustang vendor
or

2. Scour ebay, vendors, and various mustang site classified and want ads for good used
or

3. Scour ebay, vendors, and various mustang site classified and want ads for NOS (and take out a home equitly loan)

pretty much round out your options.


I know there are 'some' places around that claim to be able to fix wheels so that might be an option that some research can be done on.

Yeah, I remember the wreck. I still have the original steel wheels and hubcaps that I took off my 65 to put on the Mag 500's. If you want them for free, you can have them but will need to pay for shipping. The tires are still on them, so I don't know if that would be worth the cost to you. That is a pretty common wheel, so check with the junk yards in your area first.
