If I'm going with the teddy bears, I'll definitely have to go 15" with the white walls. They'd look so much cuter with the white outline

Here's some news for you guys that like retro style like me. American Racing is coming out with the slot mags in Jan, 05. No 18 inch size though. :angry:
AMERICAN RACING WHEELS RELEASES THE HISTORIC SLOT MAG
AR Retro-Engineers and Re-Introduces the Legendary Sixties Ansen Slot Mag
Los Angeles—Los Angeles-based American Racing Equipment, Inc., one of the world’s largest and most historic automotive aftermarket wheel manufacturers, has refined and re-introduced the original Ansen slot mag , one of the most recognized custom wheel designs emerging from the true rod and custom era of the late sixties and early seventies.
Originally offered in the mid-sixties by various manufacturers, the Ansen-style Sprint slot mag was featured on many of the most famous racing, custom and muscle cars of the period, including the 1976 Ford Gran Torino of Starsky and Hutch. Remaining true to its unique and historic roots, American Racing’s new Ansen-style slot mag will be manufactured of aluminum alloy, but will be polished to a brilliant finish for restoration and custom applications. The new Slot Mag has been retroengineered to fit a variety of lug patterns and more modern tire and brake packages, including 15x7 inch 4-lug patterns for earlier Mustangs. To complete the product package, American’s designers added sizes to fit today’s custom trends—the Ansen Sprint slot mag will be offered in 15x7, 15x8, 17x7 and 17x8 inch sizes, with correct backspacing requirements for most period restoration cars and trucks. It is the first time that a slot-mag style has been shown in 17 inch sizes, outside of a few early “skinnies†used for drag racing in the sixties.
The release of the new Ansen Sprint Slot Mag was announced at the 2004 SEMA Show.
Availability
Available in January, 2005, the Ansen Sprint-style slot mag will be available from American Racing’s 25,000 retailers across the U.S. and in more than 25 countries worldwide.

Enjoy Guys!
I think a set of those would really dress up a new Mustang!

You can get them in 17" and 18" diameters and 8" or 9.5" wide. They are pricey but, I think they are worth it.
This pic shows 17 x 8's in front and 18 x 9.5" rims out back. I think they will look excellent on an '05.

Yeah, pretty nice. I think the 05 Mustang would look better with bigger wheels in the back. I still think the deep dish slot mags would look the most retro on a Mustang.
Too bad they won't be available in 18 inch though......

Is there a picture of the American Racing rims that you mentioned above?
Magnums are very retro....used late 60's to early 70's by Ford, Buick and others....they just changed the center caps.

No, they don't have a pic on their website. I looked everywhere, but they're the same rims that are on the 1976 Ford Gran Torino of Starsky and Hutch.
So, you can just do a search for that and you'll see the style I'm talking about. Used to be real common, but not too many manufacturers make them any more. Good to see that American Racing is coming back with them......

Well, I just saw the rims and I don't like them. I think they actually used those on the Mustang II's as well....I'm not to fond of cars from the mid to late 70's and that's probably why I don't like them. But that's just me. The '05 Mustang reflects the late 60's and not the 70's. so, I really like the Torq thrust and Magnum 500 rims the best. The 70's were a dark time for muscle cars....especially the poor Mustang.

I put those on my 66' just to be different 
But they would like azz on an 05!
I personally think the new Hallibrand Cobra III's are the bees knee's.
