    Old School Look

    I've been having difficulty in locating 17" 5 spoke old school wheels for my SE.

    I have looked at American Racing Aeros, Thrust IIs, Cragars, Eagle, Coys and the like and I can't find anyone offering 17", 5x115 with the proper offsets.

    Can anyone help or do I need to go up to 18" or 20" if I want this look?

    It all depends what you can afford Bill. You might have to go to 18's. I think there is more selection.

    I wish the multi spoked wheels from an Intrepid would fit. I think they would lood real good.

    The Magnum has a soul. It has a personality, something all too lacking in the automotive transportation appliances everybody else is offering.

    Try Bullett rims. This is was I am putting on my R/T for Christmas, she sent her list to Santa already.
    They make them in 17", you just have to have them special ordered for your Mag being that this are made for Mustangs.

    I've seen the look. You really want to step up to at least 18" if you can.

    If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?

    Yes, I've seen the custom build but for some reason there was an issue with brake clearance in 17".

    I just might have to bit the bullet with 18"...damn, I didn't want to purchase new tires!

    Thanks all for responding...

    I bought some 17" Foose Nitrous and they would not fit over the Front brakes. Aftermarket i would advise going 18" to make sure you clear.

    I found some from Eagle Alloys that are 17"x8", which I think is to wide for the stock 65's. I called the company and theyh said they would fit my Magnum, but were on 6 month back order............

    Sorry Beast I'm lazy... and I haven't ordered a set yet...

    Does this comment mean they are making 20's now?

    Thanks,
