Old School Rims

[IEatRiceGT]

Have any of you guys seen these or any older ford rims be put on newer cars. Are there any issues w/ fitment? What do you think about them?

i dont think they would look right, too small. now if you got a more modern oldschool wheel in 17" that would look sweet. there are brands out there that make oldschool style wheels like that.

yea i don't know about those. i think that it would look weird on a newer car, but who knows. maybe some one could chop those onto a newer car.

The only old wheel I have seen that looks good is the wheel vinitques magnum 500 wheel. http://www.wheelvintiques.com/
Its available in up to 11" widths with specific BS for our year of stangs. Check out page 10 of this link...

Nothing I hate more than seeing a fantastic car riding on 7" of sidewall.... its like dating a girl with an amazing body and a fugly face. You can only put up with it for so long...

I think it's hot on older cars. And even newer cars can take some sidewall to a certain extent. I like a decent sidewall on the rear of our cars. Afterall, that's where your traction lies. I think I'm gonna get me a set of ProStars and throw some thick walled DR's on there.


I agree that the Magnum 500 wheels are the best old school rims. WHEN I get my '69 or '70 fastback .... no other rim will go on it. The one's Paul posted aren't EXACTLY like the old 500's. They look similar to Mach 1 wheels. Also, I THINK you would have to get those special order one's because the older cars had a different bolt pattern (5 x 5.5"?).
