Best place to find these...?

['66 coupe]

Anyone know where the best place to get the 16x7.5 Mustang wheels is?
I want to get a set for my '66, for when I convert it to 5-lug.
I want to find the alloy kind(not painted). Center caps aren't a big deal, because I can get the ones I want at a dealer. But I would prefer the ones that expose the lug nuts.


I was bidding on a cheap set on ebay, but some jerkass parts vendor bid sniped me with 7 seconds to go.
Besides ebay, I have no idea where to look.

i really dont care for the new V6 wheels on old mustangs AT ALL. get some wheels that are for old muscle cars, like cragar SS rims and BFG radial t/a tires or something

Kind of agree with the last guy but try GEFRacing.com They're a Ford dealer down south with Ford Racing license. I got my 17's there and the nice part is they were cheaper than discount tire or tirerack. You could check those to but they moslty sell ricer stuff. Discount tires is Tires.com and tirerack is tirerack.com

Good Luck

The car is keeping it's inline 6; so I thought modern V6 wheels are a good way to stick with the economy Mustang idea.
I've considered Torq Thrust D's(original Bullitt) and Mag 500's(Mach I's). But it's been done A LOT. I want something a little different(as if a performance-built inline 6 isn't unique enough). And this is different and a lot cheaper.

Besides, I haven't even done the 5-lug conversion yet. And if it gets put off, the wheels can go on my '01.

I don't think this looks bad at all.
To me, the centercaps make a big difference. The ones in the first image I posted look too plain/blank.

I looked in there for stuff one time a couple years ago. Wasn't too much selection, and not updated very often.

i know its yours, but i still say the old muscle car rims (cragar, torque thrust, mag 500) are what belong on that car.

 

[marvinmycat]

Those are my what?

Those aren't my classified ads, and those sure aren't the rims I have on my car. I only did some of the leg work FOR YOU.

Okay. Go to a Mustang show. If less than half of the Mustangs(not counting the concourse restored ones) there have Cragar SS's, Torq Thrust D's or II's, or Mag 500's, then I'll do what you say.

I really just want something different, but affordable.

You also might want to drive a 200ci Mustang. You'd definately stop using the term Muscle Car.

Who are you talking to?

Anyways, I just think Stangnet would be better with a Classified Forum. This way people looking to buy can ask questions, bid, and know when a deal is being made. Most stuff I've gotten from people online has been through a forum, and it works really well.
The current setup is much like Autotrader. And just like Autotrader, I've had too many experience where I've contacted a seller only to find out I was two weeks too late.

 

[marvinmycat]

Most people don't take in to consideration that many people are looking at thier ads, and once they sell their stuff, THEY SHOULD REMOVE THE AD!

But then, that would be considered courteous.

I always thought they would look kinda cool on a 65-66, like you said, something different. Bullitts tend to look pretty good too imo.

I don't know if VTStang66 (I think that was the username of the pic you posted) ever actually put his on there or not. I'd like to see it with the car on the ground and the wheels on.

 

['66 coupe]

Last I heard of VT, he was still trying to find the correct spacers to get them mounted. I already know what I need though.
The owner of Fordsix.com put a set on his crossflow-powered '66.
This is the best pic I could find. I think the centercaps make a big difference.

If you can find a set I'd say go for it. I was actually kinda looking for a set for my 83 5.0.
