That might make the search a whole lot easier.Do you have a favorite style in mind?

That's a real difficult question to answer.I guess my answer to your question if I see it and like it...that's the wheel.Sorry I'm being so vauge but that is really a hard question to answer directly

The car will be a custom 69 Mach 1 with a 1000hp engine Boss 598ci hemi.Custom front and rear suspension sitting on Shockwave air ride.So the wheel combination has to be just perfect to fit this car.

Maybe people could show off their wheels in this thread.

Are you looking for something that would have a modern twist on a period Mustang wheel or something all together different?

Do you have any design in mind for the look you're after?

SW's Mustang is the sickest '69, he ran Fikse wheels:

I bought some forgeline wheels from Frank at Prodigy customs. Very happy with them and they only took 2-3 weeks for a custom wheel delivered. They look even better in person then on the net. They also have a large selection of finishes. http://www.forgeline.com/products/ac...nter-finishes/

Take a look at the new Pro-Touring series wheel from Billet Specialties. They have 4 designs to date. They are really a good looking wheel, cool designs and finish. They are not on their site yet but just call them or take a look at their ad in the latest GoodGuys Gazette.

Great way to explain it.Absolutly,"a modern twist on a period Mustang".I like everything Coddington and Foose does but I don't see a wheel on their web site that fits the bill for this car and that totally amazes me.

Your right.Engine,transmission,suspension,body modifications,interior were all easy decisions to make.I really thought the most difficult decision would be color but it wasn't.It's the wheels.

Poor wheel choice can make or break a high end car.

Nice...but not right for the car we're building.

If it makes any difference guys,remember the car will be tubbed to fit HUGE tires and cool wheels.

Lets keep the ideas coming
