#3 for me also. I've always thought the Torque Thrust style wheel looked the best on those cars.

Ok the black ones are the last chop. The base model are the chop #3. Here is the polished chop. Sry i did it quick so the back tire is deformed. I like #3 myself.

You can actually get good deals on FR500s on modern mustang type sites. Given what you were picking for wheels is why I mentioned it. I didn't think the cost would any more to go that route vs bullits, etc.

Isn't your car a 6 cylinder, meaning 4 lug wheels? Another big added expense there changing to 5 lugs for any of these wheels.

I am going to buy 4 to 5 lug adaptors for the car. They are 180 on Ebay. Also i am going to buy all rims Used. I dont want to spend full price when i get them for half and get tires. I may go new only if i have to.

But tires will cost at least 70-80 dollars a piece, not to mention mounting. For me its worth the extra money to get new rims. Just food for thought.

I will mount them, and i have found some that come with tires. Then i will take the car to Sears. I have a free balance and rotation.

Those look nice on that mustang. I think i will probably get bullits. If i cant find any i think i may go with OEM GT rims.
