Yeah, I was gonna mention the Wheel Vintiques 17" Billet Magnums -- you custom order them in whatever rim width and backspacing you want. I think Magnums would look great on this car, and they did appear on 1st gen Mustangs if you include Shelbys. On that note, maybe the new 17" Shelby 10-spokes?351carlo said:It's ashame the Cobra's didnt come with the same rims the 03 Mach1's came with. I think this car would look pretty slick with a set of those late model Magnum 500 style rims which the new Mach1's came with. Kinda a nice tribute to the old, yet new style of this car.
Everything looks to be coming along nicely..... good luck with it.

We have put a call into the bone yard. As soon as one comes in, they will give cus a call. THat way we can at least hold it up and see if we like the overall effect.
Thanks for the input.
bnickel said:no problem and i wasn't offended or anything. i just think that the 3 spoke wheel has a more classic look than the cobra wheel but is still modern enough that it wouldn't look out of place and hopefully will complement the rest of the interior while still being able to retain the airbag, therby keeping with that part of the theme, keeping all of the Cobra's safety features intact.
so basically, the whole point is something that will complement the classic looks of the 65 and keep the safety portion of the airbags from the cobra functional. as far as i know the 05 stang wheel is the only 3 spoke wheel ford makes that utilizes an airbag.
i do agree with Edbert on the fact that the 05 v6 wheel would probably work better with the cobra interior since it doesn't have the silver "stainless" trim piece
Hi E,Edbert said:Not just the airbag functionality but also the cruise control, there are no audio controls on the 05 steering wheel I have though, looks like the Cobra wheel does not have them though.
This is a small pic of my 05's interior and wheel.
SN65 said:Hi E,
Can you do me a favor and measure the dash. What is the overall width (from where the dash meets the door to door).
Just currious.
Ya know...he could mass-produce these and sell them on ebay along with Reen and Degins and MustangSteve! Just have a few large bolts that hold the body to the chassis like the bed of my pickup truck has...WOOOT!1320stang said:Bob's next post:
