Help me choose my wheels- I have 3 options-

GNN60GT500 · Apr 15, 2006

Hey everyone-

After going to the last show, Im thinking about changing my wheels as there seems to be alot of people with the wheels I have now-

Here is a pic of my car-

http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/News/knotts05/images/IMG_6118_JPG.jpg

I was going to attach a pic but it didnt work-

Should I -

Leave the car the way it is- (Bullitt wheels with spinners)

Boyd Cottington Junk Yard Dogs ( I will go 18s in back, 17s in front)

Billet Specialties SLX45 Fast Forward (would also go 18s in back, 17s in front)

http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/listproducts.asp?cat=10190

I need a wheel with 6" back spacing due to a custom suspension set up- and these are the ones I could find that I liked- but am open to other suggestions-

i would leave it the way it is...it looks great..just my 2 cents

5.0StangRacer · Apr 15, 2006

wow, when i first saw your car, i said leave them on, but then i looked at the rims and thought about them on ur car (which looks great btw) and i cant decide, thats a really hard decision, at least you know whichever way you go you'll make a good decision lol

The Junk Yard Dogs would look SICK!!!!! The SLX45 look good on a modern car, not a classic. IMHO.

Jimmys66 · Apr 15, 2006

Out of the 3, I like the J Y Dogs the best. Dark grey makes chrome stand out big time.

stangonline · Apr 15, 2006

Leave it. You have a nice balance of wheel size and sidewall the way it sits. I never did like the wheels on the FFF car. I've never been a chrome guy either. Maybe the JY Dogs in anthracite(sp?) or something like that I prefer the way it is now though.

19stang66 · Apr 15, 2006

Keep the ones you got or get the Junk Yard ones

reenmachine · Apr 15, 2006

I say keep what you have. They look great and you can spend the $ elsewhere.

Cupid · Apr 15, 2006

Keep em'!

Definitely keep what you have. Classy without the whole "huge chrome wheels to set my ride off" syndrone!

66Runt · Apr 16, 2006

Keep what you've got

And paint the spokes to match the color of the car. Then polish the rims to a mirror finish. Find someone who can make you up some custom "GT" center logo's, instead of the stock Mustang ones. Now you've got something no one else has.
BTW: beautiful car.

the foose wheels are nice but WAY expensive. I like the V45 Vintage Wheel Works too. Sorry not on your list but whateva

65ShelbyClone · Apr 17, 2006

The Boyds don't look different enough to warrant replacing the Bullitts. Not only that, I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling from Boyd Coddington, so I'm biased(I've seen more episodes than I care to admit....not much of that drama was scripted).

The others look like they would be more at home on a Yukon or Navigator or something.

I voted you keep what you have.

i agree

With your options I say keep what you have...

06cobra · Apr 17, 2006

Boyd's Wheel division is being bought up by American Racing. Not sure if that helps the warm fuzzy feeling.

I'm partial to the Junk Yard dogs, as I'm thinking of getting the same ones for our 66 coupe. BUT I don't think they can be had with the 6" backspacing you require!

Mustangus · Apr 17, 2006

I know lots of people have the same wheels as you have now but they are great and really suit your car

NasaGT · Apr 17, 2006

Those JYD are sweet. Not so sure about giving money to Boyd though.

Maximum backspacing on that wheel is 6 1/8" custom built-

Also to add more fuel into the fire, I work for Magnaflow, and we have a relationship with Boyd, so I get an even better deal on them-

decisions, decisions-

great feed back from everyone though- thanks- keep it coming!

Even though you have a relationship wiuth him, doesnt make him less of an ass, but im sure you wont be paying MSRP for them either.But in a few month, youll be in the same boat looking for another "unique" wheel that nobody has
