Thinking of one of these two or something similar -

If anyone has suggestions for other wheels with a similar 5 spoke look and where to buy them (with tires) I`m all ears.

 I think these play the part better IMO.. mostly offered through mustang sites with tires so I don't know how to get an acceptable center badge

I bought 17" American Racing t-thrust-M's from these guys with Nitto NT-05 tires mounted. They are in Texas.
At the time very good pricing. May, or may not still have good pricing. :dunno:

No thanks, look too big, ricer-ish, rubber band tires. I`m still not 100% sure about even going to a 17-18".

To each their own, but I personally don't like wheels that big on any 60's, 70's musclecar.

Not sure where these wheels are made?

Lousy backspace. Will need short sidewall tire and probably a narrow 225 or 235 wide.

Ya, just saw them and didn`t really research them yet, not sure if any other backspace options are available.
