Need wheels, Old school!!

Alright,

I need help with this. I'm not sure about you guys but buying wheels have been the hardest thing for my baby. I never hesitated buying a blower, gears, mufflers and all the rest of the stuff for her. Wheels are worst because I know exactly what I want. I just can't find it....

I'm trying to give her the old school bad *** look of the 60s. I can't do that with 20s. Don't get me wrong, they look cool but they don't accomplish what I want. I want and need a combo that will give me grip. Secondly, I want the widest yet smallest rim possible and put big rubber on it. The kind with the big *** white letters on them.

Yeah, that would give me want I need.....

Please help, I'm just an ADD TO BASKET away from getting the Roush wheel and tire combo and I know I'll regret it....

If you really want the old school look, go for the Magnum 500 rims. I think they look awesome on the new mustangs. I did a google search and pulled up this badazz looking "Boss" with Magnum 500s.

The tires you want for the 60`s and early 70`s look are here.

As for getting rims , you`ll have to find some 15 inch rims for the stang. Slotted disks , full moon`s or MT`s origonals. Good luck on that part. These are the tires I wish they made in 17 inch. But they arn`t speed rated loke the stock tires.

I dont know if you can get the classic Cragar SS in a size to fit our cars, but they are about as cool and old school as you can get.

Hell yeah...
They look like the ones on the old Cobras. Good stuf.
They don't have anything for 17' wheels.... I don't think we can put 16' rims on our cars.
