Expect to pay $200-$220 a wheel for 17" Hopsters, and $160-$180 for 16".

You know... you bring up an interesting point. The painting of the spokes. I was at the weekly McDonalds car show last night with the family and mentioned it to a bud of mine about painting the spokes. He basically thought I was a "***" for thinking of that. I saw awhile ago a car that had painted white spokes to match the Shelby striping on the car. It looked really cool. It was one of the reasons I dumped my TT2's to pick up some Vintage 45's (so I could eventually paint the spokes).

Does anyone else have pics of cars like I'm describing. I need to see more.

Thanks.

I paid $208 for my 17x8" TTIIs.

Generally, TTIIs seem expensive because places like NPD want $310 for them bs and laugh when you ask them to price match ( ).

That's just approximate prices based on a quick internet search. I'm sure better prices CAN be found. If a wheel-dealer carries both TT2's and Hopsters, the Hopsters are usually ~$20 a wheel less... Example 1 Example 2

The Hopsters look great on your car.

BobV, any mods required to fit the 17x8's on your car? You got me thinking about how my coupe would look with those so bad. I used paint because I don't have photoshop.......they look bad ass. I have to have them.

Those wheels are awesome...I've only found them for sale on ebay though...doesn't look like too many places have them anymore. Is Edelbrock not making them anymore?

The '05 Mustang wheels look similar, which means there are gonna be hundreds of thousands of cars with look-alike wheels in a year or two...

I purchased my 454s right before Ultra stopped production of them. I waited too long, as I was getting 17" but they were all out so had to go for the 16" which I still love. Also went with the polished vs the satin. The only place I have seen them is on Ebay and the want alot more than I got them for!

I like these as well. I snapped a couple pics of a nice vert with polished salt flats at the Fabulous Ford show last April. I'll try to get them scanned over the weekend.

What size wheel

There are some pretty nice wheels in this thread, thanks for the suggestions guys. I need to make sure these will fit a '66 coupe before I go rushing off and buying wheels though. I believe the bolt pattern is 5 x 4.5", and I want a 16" or 17" diameter... What wheel width and backspacing do I get? My fenders aren't rolled although I'm willing to do that if there's not much risk of cracking my paint.

Thanks again!

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed.

Older style halibrand Sprint wheels look cool too. Different ppl make knock offs of them though.

I love the look of those but I can't find them for sale anywhere. The Cragar 390s are pretty much the same though. Are there any other clones out there? Do you know anyone that has the Halibrand Sprints for sale? Froogle didn't find them anywhere.
