I was thinking it would be pretty cool to throw some Magnum 500's on an 05+ GT to give it a little more retro look. Basically, the same wheels and tires that you found on a '70 Mach 1.

Has anyone here done that and have any pictures they could post? I'd be interested to see it.

Also, can anyone recommend a store that would sell vintage looking Magnum 500s rims?

Thanks!

Cervini's sells some Magnum 500 look-alike wheels in the correct offset for S197s.

thats actually why i went to the cervinis site. got side tracked by the stalker. the 18" magnum 500s offered by cervini are simply badass for this car.

There's also plenty of replica manufacturers out there that build Magnum style wheels as well.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any links to some other places that might be a little cheaper than cirvinis?

I personally like these. Shelby did it right with the small update on a classic look.

plus they fit with the GT500 and Shelby big brake packages which is nice. Leave it to Shelby to not only think of beautiful form, but to also creat awesome functionality.
