Default New wheels for a 69 mustang?

Looking to get new wheels for the mustang at some point in the near future. Its a red 69 fastback, it sits pretty low. Anyone with pictures/suggestions let me know. Ive even looked into wheel adapters to go from ford to chevy bolt pattern if I can get the backspacing lined up. Im open to any suggestions. Going for the pro-touring/street fighter look.

ps-Im a full time college student so i do not have deep pockets, keep that in mind with suggestions.

Thanks

How about the new wheel we just released, the GX3?





Or the DS3?



Both designs will be built to your specs and finished any way you like.

Let me know if you have any questions.

the ZX3' look amazing! and theyre different that the wheels I see on all the muscle cars around here.

Now that I think about it, The more I look at those DS3's..... the better they look. Might have to start saving up!

These may also be out of your price range, but SW's 69 Mustang looked just perfect with these Fikse wheels.

yep those are out as well, atleast as long as Im still in college. I love the stance of his car and thats about the height Im aiming for, maybe just a tad higher so the car is more streetable

I think the 69/70 fastback style looks best with staggered size wheel and tire. This particular car had a 19" rear 18" front. It allows a slight rake while keeping rim to fenderwell gap the same.

The cheap, good looking, ford wheels I think of are the mustang replica wheels. I think late model restoration has a set of wheels and tires for about a grand. I dont know the BS for a 69 mustang.

Yes I can run the 94-04 mustang wheels. I can only have an 8-8.5" wide front wheel because of how much my car is lowered. I would have to use a 1" spacer on the front because the ideal bs up front on my car is around 4.5". Out back Ive seen guys running 10" wide wheels and they only had to hammer in a little of the inner fender well. Rear bs is about 6.38" I think and it just barely clears the leaf springs.

Also EBMC that 18/19 setup looks awesome ive never seen that before!
