1966 Mustang GT Possible Wheel Change
Old Fastback has been on vintage Ansens for a while. Found a set of period correct unique vintage wire wheels. Haven't seen a Fastback on vintage wires. Any thoughts? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1497670180.jpg

I have some 16x9 Torque Thrusts in the back of my 66 coupe. Then the project stalled
and it's still on the lift in my garage... |
I would not change the wheels on that car, it looks great.
Wire wheels on a convertible maybe. |
What would McQueen do?
|
Wire wheels are perfect on British roadsters.
The Mustang looks great as is. |

go the other way--deeper into the T/A restomod abyss. Maier, Street or Track...;)

No to the wires.
Yes to Cragar SS, Torque Thrust, or factory styled steel. In the 90's I had a 65 poppy red k code fastback with the factory styled steel. |
No.

Was that a regional thing? We did go through a centerline phase but that passed. ;) |
Another no vote on the wires. Looks great just the way it is. The early fastback..the best looking Mustang body.
Iceman..gorgeous! Love the blue. |
They're an old set of 15x7.5 Borrani, a pr of spares, sided hubs, knock offs, lugs, wrench & hammer. Thought it might add a nice touch.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1497721360.jpg

I can see why you're tempted, but do you really want the hassles of wires?
|
My favorite wheel design and figured it could work. I suppose cleaning them would be an extra hassle. Spoke with Wire Wheel King about finishing them in silver.

Those pics aren't fair! I mean, a GT40 would look cool even running painted steel wheels with baby moon hubcaps. ;)
|
You're absolutely right but at least they're Ford related, I held back from posting vintage Ferrari pics.
|
The GT40 and Cobra wheels are all center mount/fastened. That may be worth some novelty points but that falls off sharp if they are 5 bolt mounted.

I personally love your car as is, but I say let it rip. It's only money and completely reversible. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1497725396.jpg |
Old ads & info, on current wheels. Fortunately I'm able to find old stuff locally.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1497725008.jpg
