OK....most of you know (my) car, the 75 Maverick . She looks great as she sits but I am considering changing the wheels. Looking for opinions - comments . As you all know there are hundreds of great custom wheels on the market So......if money was not a concern (not that it isn't - but for the sake of conversation) and you could go out and get any type of "custom wheel" you could , what would you put on this "Glossy Black" Maverick to set her off, something full chrome , something more classic , something solid black :bananaman, black and chrome ....interested in some comments . Thanks.
The Magnum 500 are nice....sort of "Old School", somewhat "Original" for the car and year and I was also looking at the Black center mags with the Chrome or Polished outer rims. I want to keep the Deep Black look going on the car but accent the wheels...so a little chrome just may do the trick. Thanks for the input....looking for some more suggestions.
I like the cobra black spokes....I'm thinking I'm going to go with Black insert (spokes - mags) and Chrome outers......thanks
JPL, Here's where I purchased mine: [FONT="]http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels-for-Mustang?gclid=CL7u1Nb0pqsCFaEBQAodlFxXbw I doubt the 10.5" x 17" wheels will fit the rear of our Mavericks but they also have the 9" x 17" that I have on the front. Bruce [/FONT]
Thanks for the web site. Since I live about 30-40 minutes from Summit Racing (Akron/Talmadge, Ohio) I just may take a drive and see what they have at the showroom, but the web site allows me to look at all the options. Presently the car has 70-80s Crown Vic wheels on it...they look great but again I have to put "My Touch" on the car...previous owner (Chuck) also is interested in buying the present wheels back, so possibly I can defer my cost a little of the new ones, again thanks.
your right, Im running 275x40x17s on 9.5 in wheels and I have them tucked just a tad and there is absolutely no more room under there unless you start doing some modifying.
I think for your car the magnum 500's would be AWESOME or some bear cat wheels painted black with just the trim of the holes chromed
Allot of options....and since the cost isn't really minimal, considering cost of rims/tires...my decision is going to be one I have to live with...at least for a while. But, as I stated....wanting to keep the "Brilliant Black" look, that's what first stands out when you see the car......and othing looks better than "Black & Chrome".....Black&Chrome combination on the rims must be the choice.
Black Bullitts with polished lip are always a good "Black & Chrome" combo. I had an idea for those that like the look of original style wheels, but also like the handling advantages and mod styling of newer 17" & 18" wheels... For those where money is no object.... .................................................17"X 7"-8"-9" & 11". A staggered 17"X7" and 17"X8" set of 4 costs around $1,200 Or, if you're on a budget.... Factory 2003-04 17x8 Mustang Mach-1 "Magnums" You can find used sets for anywhere from $200-$600. Invest in some spacer/adapters, you got modern size with retro looks Are any members here running the Mach-1 or other 17" Magnums style rims on their Mav/Comet?
