Here are the choices I'm going to give the owner of the 65 convertible. They are all either optional wheels for the 65-66 Mustang or are period correct. We will go with a 15x7 wheel and 205/60 tires.

Curious about your picks/comments.

BTW, the website I used is really cool. Check it out

I like the Torque II's. Considered Bullit 17" or 18"? I can get a killer deal on them, but you have to use spacers. kennyg

 

I'm completely opposed to Bullitts. Way too common. It's about turned me off of all Torque Thrusts, but they sure do show the disc brakes well.
IMO, the 65-66 bodystyle doesn't look good in wheels above 16".

BTW, added two new options to the bottom of my original post. Shelby Cobra wheels!

 

Cobra silver

 

Have you considered the '66 style Shelby 10-spokes?

 

+1...........

 

Are they different than the ones I posted here?

 

Mark, While we are on the subject of wheels/tires, what size tires do you have on your 15's and how wide and what is the offset of your whells ? Greg

 

Mine are 15x7, I believe a 4.00bs, P205/60/15 tires all the way around.

 

Thanks Mark !

 

Yep the ones you show are the '67-68 style.

I vote torque Thrust D. Classic performance look, without going over the top.

 

Have you considered MiniLites? The American Racing makes a copy called the Silverstone.

I like the first set they just look like they belong
