Looking for quick wheel/tire feedback

Hey everyone.

I have a '66 Mustang Coupe 6cyl. with stock 14 inch wheels. I plan to convert to power front disc brakes in the near future and need to up my wheels to 15 inch.

With Black Friday nearly upon us, I found what I feel is a great deal to solve this issue. With my limited experience, I am hoping to get some feedback within the next 12 hours or so.

So here it is.

4 König Rewind 15x7 4x114.3 wheels
4 Michelin Defender tires 215/65 R15
Mounted and balanced with replacement warranty and wheel installation package.

Total price is $993.88
Qualifies for 2 separate mail rebate Visa debit cards of $100 dollars each.

Net cost $793.88 delivered to my house.

Please comment on the price as well as the wheels and tire size.

Thanks.

First off post a pic of the wheels!
Second, do the wheels have the correct back spacing and offset for your car?
Third, are you sure you are not going to want a 5 lug conversion in the future?

Here is the wheel. I am sure that I am not going to 5 lug.

I am a novice at understanding backspacing, but I have read of many people putting these wheels on cars like mine. The backspacing of the wheel is listed as 4 inches.

Look good!
Good classic look, and sounds like a good price!
Where are you getting those from?

Discount Tire Direct.

Its not the same as Discount Tire that has brick and mortar stores. I'm in the process of researching them to make sure they are reliable.

I could knock $45 off if I chose not to select their warranty, but at $14 a tire, it doesn't seem too bad.

It turns out that the brick and mortar stores may be the same as DTD.
