I am looking for some 18's for a 65 Mustang. Nothing too pricey. One piece will work. Just some cruiser wheels

Any ideas? Does anyone happen to know the backspacing I should get by the way? Stock suspension for now but will lower in the future.

Vintage wheel works offer 18's in some of the wheels and they look really nice, right around $400 for the 18's.

TTII's always look good, the centers of mine are painted a nice gun metal to break up the wheel a bit.

Tons of styles, just depends on the look you're going for. I don't think they look too good but lots of people are running the newer mustang 17's and 18's with spacers. Cheap cheap and all over the local Craigslist.

John not sure if they will have BS you need but for a mesh wheel TSW makes some decent wheels and priced good?? WWW.tsw.com lots of vendors all over eBay and the net.

Hi, it's Chris from Showwheels in Anaheim.
We have a 1 piece wheel machined to order.
For a lowered 65 in 18" we use 7s on the front at 4.5" BS to avoid tires touching the fenders when cornering and 4.75" BS on 8" wide rears to tuck under.
Contact me any time, thank you, Chris 714-524-3100 www.showwheelsusa.com www.kwcforged.com

Car looks great! I really like the orange, not enough to do it but it looks real nice on a fastback.

DanIt took a lot to do it. the car was Moonlight blue with white pear stripes, after the first magazine came out, the car was copied a few times. So I figured who's ballsy enough to do orange???After I saw it without the stripes, I was :brix:

But it grew on me.

I know what you mean about :brix: When we painted our Studebaker bright azz yellow it was the same feeling. Some black scallops and blacking out around the windows was just enough to calm it down.

I think it looks great and with all the other mods you've done it's got to be a blast to drive!

:cheers:
