If you decide to sell let me know. Or if you want another old school look compared to the 500's I have american racing torque thrust 2's with new bf goodrich tyres, but they're 15's. We can swap  :smilies:

In 90% convinced I'm selling, the Shelby wheels I got here are in immaculate condition not a scratch with z rated tyres at approx 80% tread all round, probably only been driven on for 4 months, casual once a week driving that is

They both look nice,

On your car Al, the Shelby wheels make it a one of a kind so to speak, looks awesome.

The magnums on you car, I think would make it look like just another mustang, but as they say, it's a personal choice, go with the wheels you like, as you have to be happy with it, you own it.

If Husky doesn't buy the Shelby wheels, let me know, I may be interested.

Cheers
Keith

Damn magnums are nice though

I get what your saying Keith, a lot of people say that's what's making it different but they are just not fat enough, unless I put big tyres on it which apparently won't fit

Both look good  :thumb: . Magnums are a bit more old school and with say T/A BFG tyres are a classic look .  You can fit a 15x8 on the back but with the right offset and a 235/60 tyre .  I have magnum 500s on my 66 coupe and on my 70 Mach 1 .

What is the width of your rims and tyres?

Lokos quite nice that thick!! I was planning to putting on some 17' Torque Thrust as well but might revert to 15's

I don't have the car with me, but I think they are 215's and 225's on 15x7. They are basically new and I love them, but my stang is being transformed into a 'modern' daily and the 15's really limit my tyre choice, as I want very good tyres on a daily

Its personal choice...the shelby look good I was going to go that way but decided on 15 x 8 styled..Ive never been a fan of white lettering but saying that on some cars like the fast back and later 69 /70s they look good

Let me know when you can check on your car as they seem wider than 215....also where are you based? You want to sell or exchange?
