Which rims would you put on these 3 cars?
Picked up some brushed Mach 1 rims today. Got polished Saleen Rims last week. also have black Bullit rims (polished lips)

which rims (out of what I have below) would you put on the following 3 cars?

cars:
97 GT (Roush ground fx)
87 GT hatchback (5-lug, GT ground fx)
67 Coupe (Shelby wing)

rims:
18x9 Polished Saleens
17x8 Bullits. black with brushed lips
17x8 Brushed Mach 1's

sorry, cant post pics of the cars because they're all sanded down.

I was thinking the Mach 1 rims would look best on the 67. Saleens on the 97. Bullits on the fox.

here's my 67 (primer) with bullits:

here's some random pics of the rims on different cars (not my cars):

I think the bullits would look great on it

swervo · January 9th, 2012, 12:30 PM

Saleens on the 97, bullitts on the fox and Mach 1s on the old school

I would go something like this

FastRidesOnly.com · January 9th, 2012, 01:15 PM

^has to be what I already have though. and theres 3 different cars. 67, 87, 97

maxgst · January 9th, 2012, 01:19 PM

oh sorry, I didnt read that!
I like the mach 1's

FastRidesOnly.com · January 9th, 2012, 03:14 PM

tried the mach 1s on my fox:

Blue67coupe · January 9th, 2012, 04:29 PM

Saleen wheels on the 67, Bullitts on the 97 and the mach 1's on the fox. Main reason I picked this way is because i've never seen a 67-68 with Saleens. I have wanted to do it before but couldn't find decent priced wheels.

FastRidesOnly.com · January 9th, 2012, 05:06 PM

i forgot to mention the bullits are off a 05+ so the offset is all messed up. they're tucked in so far on all of the cars so i try not to use them if i dont have to. they look good though. just tucked in like crazy.

you're right, i looked on google and couldnt find any 67s with saleens. I already put the bullits on it (again) but after I move the car..I'll throw the saleens on and take some pics. I had some cobra r's on it once and i didnt like it. I just care for chrome rims on a 67.

i swapped all the rims today, and did:
67 - black bullits
87 - mach 1s
97 - saleens
04 cobra -fr500s

but i can always swap them around.

Blue67coupe · January 9th, 2012, 05:18 PM

I would say for the most part I don't like chrome wheels on the 67 either. I have the exception for the American Racing Torq Thrusts however. Only reason I never went with them is their overused. When I was looking at Saleens it was the hyperblack replicas. Depending on the color the car will be if the Saleens look weird i'd say put the bullitts on it.

97 GT (Roush ground fx) - 18x9 Polished Saleens
87 GT hatchback (5-lug, GT ground fx) - Sell or trade 17x8 Bullits. black with brushed lips for Anthracite FR500's or NE Cobras. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of black Bullitts.
67 Coupe (Shelby wing) - 17x8 Brushed Mach 1's

my thoughts EXACTLY

SlowSix · January 10th, 2012, 02:47 PM

Saleens on the 97 for sure.

I'm torn with the other too though.
I like the bullits on the 67 but I'm also not a big fan of the mach 1 wheels.

02BlueMustangGT · January 10th, 2012, 03:57 PM

Mach's on the 67, Bullitt's on the 97 (presuming black wheels flow with the car color) and the Saleen's on the fox (cause its just plain SEXYYYYYYYY)

I'm with swervo on 2 of the 3. Saleens on sn95, bullitts on the fox, and....I would not put late model rims on the 69...especialy the machs. I've seen bullits look good on the old school stangs, but I think modern rims just take so much away from the classics. just my 2 cents

Saleens won't fit on the 67

I wanted a set for my 67, but they are too wide. You would have to get them narrowed or have fender flares.

But I would do Saleens on the fox, bullitts on the 97 cause I don't like 05+ ones on a classic, and mach 1s on the 67.

I thought that was only for the Saleens that were 18X10's. The wheel chart for the 67-68 shows you can run a 9" wide wheel with 6" backspacing on a 245 tire. And thats on everything stock still. It doesn't hurt to poke a little, yours is the only 67 thats wheels sit in the fenders

Haha I poke a little but its almost flush with my wheel well but it looks fine.
