Just got to thinking about the 69/70 Shelby wheels... When you study them, they appear to be the perfect marriage of a Magnum 500 and a Torq Thrust. They have a great aggressive look, and the reproductions aren't terribly expensive either. Just wondering why more folks haven't used them on their restomods? I'd sure consider them on my own! Any opinions?

One of the great things about Brad's site is the photo library available from the Mustang Timeline.

I think they would be a great choice for wheels.
Not sure about what sizes are available in the reproduction wheels.

Size (or lack of ) would be the biggest factor. I believe they are pretty heavy too...

Still a good-looking wheel though.
