Blending old with new

[projectstang]

Hey guys, I'm actually a classic owner, but thought I would jump over to this fourum to steal some parts. I was just looking at an '05 in the mall that had the coolest wheels I've ever seen on anything. It was the popular opinion that these wheels would work very well on my '70 fastback. I just don't know if there's any other way to get ahold of some of these wheels without just buying the car. OR. . . I would be willing to trade some good 'ol fashion Magnum 500's for the newer style. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Thanks for any help.

Which wheels were you looking at?
I'll be removing mine the day it comes in.

I couldn't get a picture to paste. They're aluminum finish, charcoal powdercoat, split 5-spoke. . . It's the only style with the ford spinner.

You mean like the Bullits on this one?

hope this works as a link, not just a bunch of letters. found these on ebay. I think they look awesome. maybe better on the older style than the new cars

Those are the V6 wheels I think. There are several companies that sell genuine factory Ford Mustang wheels for good prices, it just may take a few months for them to start getting '05 wheels. But you will probably be able to buy some takeoffs like those in the Ebay ad for a good price soon.

Team III makes exactly what you're looking for:

thanks, guys! I might wait a coupla months to see what develops from some of these manufacturers.

Personally speaking project, I liked the Team3 wheels that z3r linked to. Just an opinion of course, but I think they definitely have that old school, yet not-so-rugged look. They have a nice medium to them.

Actually, all the '05 wheels are available with the spinners. Sorry, I'm getting a GT so I'll have the Torque Thrust II style.
BTW the V6 rims are 16's, but you can get aftermarket in 17's.

I think 16's are a nice subtle look on the older cars anyway.
