I've reading a few posts and was wondering--what's everyone's favorite wheel style on a classic mustang? Do you like the new style "the bigger the better", or do you prefer to stick with the smaller 14's with wheel covers/spinners? Personally, I'd seriously think of copying slickmans wheels, if only I could get them with 4 lugs. I was also looking at Mach1wade's moons ( http://www.mustangforums.com/m_1379232/tm.htm ) and like the look of them--but I don't think they are for me. So what about you?

Yes to smaller. !5's are good, anything like a 17 or over is just wrong. I like the Centerline 05's, they go on most anything. Some people may say they're way overdone, but that never changes my mind.....Also like the old oval slotted rally wheels.
First of all, the Ford engineers weren't stupid when they designed the early Mustangs with 14" wheels, so that is what I am sticking with. Secondly, for the aftermarket wheels, the Mag 500's were designed for these early mustangs. They have class without taking away from the beauty of the body of the classic mustang. As far as I am concerned, the 14" mag 500's are the best looking after market wheels for our early model mustangs.
Put me down for the 14 and 15 " rims. Aluminum slots and Torque Thrusts are my favorites. The mag 500's are also sharp looking rims.The more black rubber showing the better. Personally the "ricer" look just dosen't do it for me. Keep em on the Honda's.
For a classic wheel I will take the styled steel wheels. I think they look the best. I didn't go with that on mine but I'm going retstomod. I went with 17" 05 bullits on my 67.
Yeah, 67 and up classics seem to have a wider choice of wheels that look classy on them. But the 65 and 66 bodies, IMO, don't look good with the big shiny wheels. It simply takes away from the beauty of the classic design.

I am starting to agree. I have Craiger S/S on my 65. They are mint, and I dig them, but sometimes I feel like its too much chrome. I am considering changing to something more reserved/original style.
What's your favorite wheel?
