    Im having a hard time finding some rims I like. Im leaning towards the torino GT wheels but was hoping you guys had some good photos of what they look like on a mav or comet. Someone posted one before but the photo was too small to really see. I have seen the magnum 500 rims but Im not really a fan of those.

    Wow, looks good. I also like the grille you put in the hood scoop


    Ok, so where can you buy these wheels at a good price? I saw them on e-bay but the guy doesnt answer his e-mails or phone calls, so I dont want to buy from someone like that

    The grill in the scoop is what comes in them from the factory, As far as the wheels, Ford Carlisle is the best place. They are plentiful there. Unfortunately that show has already past for this year. I have two 14x6's and two 14x8's. (somebody widened). I was going to use them on my Comet GT but I thinking more towards going with the aftermarket version in 15" like I have on my Sprint. So I would consider selling them. Wheels only, no caps or trim rings. Shipping would probably suck and I dont really want to mess with shipping 4 wheels, but if your in no hurry, I will be in Bradenton the first week of January to visit family and I could bring them with me. Coker Tire has reproduction trim rings and center caps

    That looks like a Stang scoop. I bought one out of a junkyard for $25 and stuck it on my Ranchero. I hear they are expensive.

    Mine actually came off a Torino but they are the same as the Mustangs.

    Thanks, other than it being an automatic, I really liked that car. Sometimes I'm sorry I sold it.
