I don't think it is possible to make wheels that look better then these

[DarkoStoj]

honestly, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to spend money on wheels unless it is these..... It is such a PITA finding them though!

 

[slytherin]

are those the edelbrock's?

 

[DarkoStoj]

are those the edelbrock's?

yes... 409's

 

[usedtobe 67p51d]

yup some thing not polished, I want people to look at the car not some one going "yo g thems some dopeazz wheels do they make them like that but with some spinnerz?"

 

[DarkoStoj]

Since the 409's are WAY harder to find now, I have been looking for replacements, but nothing even comes close.

Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's

I really like these ALMOST as much as the Edelbrock 409's, but who has almost $900 a wheel?

 

[DarkoStoj]

these are also pretty cool

Boyds

I do not know if Discount Tire is a nationwide chain but they sell Boyds. The two shops I spoke to said they do not see a lot of quality or consistency when they get a set in. One shop sends them to a polisher to finish the job. The same shop said the rims sometimes come dirty with polishing compound caked on them. The store manager said TT2's are much higher quality and finish- but again they are everywhere.

don't know if you guys get the cj pony parts cataloge but they have the edelbrock wheels. I couldnt find them on their web site though.

 

[DarkoStoj]

anybody know what the backspacing is on the 17x8" 409's? I can't find that anywhere

 

[ForceFed70]

They are nice rims, but I don't like the star pattern around the center cap.

 

[DarkoStoj]

thats one of the things i like about them.

I agree, a little too much bling factor for me. im a sucker for the classic torque thrust wheels, but i know i know, they are everywhere, including on my car

That's a little stereotypical of you....

Well, that happens alot. I don't blame him for the post

 

[darkness falls]

I don't like those rims

 

[Hack]

They are ok. I don't like chrome wheels that much. I prefer the mag look personally.

But hey, your car can be what ever you want. Please yourself, not me.

TTIIs are better than those, so are the edelbrocks that are like on Elanor (halibrand looking wheels)

I have yet to hear it... and I have owned and ridden in some nice rides....
Maybe I would have got a better response if I painted #3 on the side and put a budweiser logo on the hood....

The halibrands look really nice....except for the price tag...lol

wheels

I had 4.5 back spacing on my Smoothies (17x8 back and 17x7 front) that were on my 66 coupe.I just bought the same size Billet Specialties SLX45's for my 66 Fastback and they look sweet.I was tired of seeing only TT's on every mustang out there.They area a nice looking wheel but I'm getting tired of seeing them.Just my thought's
