Pics: You are finishing a 5 year restoration and $75,000 invested in a 71 Mustang on a factory stock look car, which rims do you use?
This is here because Marlowe refused to restore a Charger, lol.
Which rims do you choose?

It all depends on what you are shooting for.
If you are going for original restored factory stock for judged national AACA or CCCA events then it must be factory stock down to and including the wheels and the type of tires it came with from the factory. No exceptions.
If you are going for original factory stock for judged local events or for your own personal taste for the look then you have "some leeway" on the wheels /tires depending on the event. For non-judged events it's whatever wheels/tires you want.

Aftermarket Cragars for me.

I'd go with the dog dish/trim ring combo with the factory styled wheels as my second choice.......
Don't find any of the after market wheels that work well with this car.

Magnum 500 would be my choice, followed by dog dish/trim rings.

Magnum 500 for sure. Crager SS as backup.
