Im really wanting to find some new wheels for my car. Im having trouble finding anything that looks good in a 4 lug. Hopefully some of you have 4 lug wheels with pictures of the wheels on your car. I appreciate the help.
The wheels on your Mustang should be 4x4.5", or 4x114.3. Believe it or not, early 70's Datsun 240, 260 and 280 Z cars had 14" wheels with the same 4-lug bolt pattern and back spacing as the 14" 4-lug wheels on early Mustangs. Check out these old Z wheels of eBay:
A little pricy, but wouldn't they look good on a Mustang? If I didn't like my stock wheel covers (with spinners) so much, I might consider buying these myself. Also, I have attached a guide for 4-lug wheels that will fit early Mustangs. This was put together by a fellow Mustanger a while back. Good luck with your search!

Nice looking wheels and they'd look great on my 68 'vert. But that would be way down the list of my priorities. I'd like to put in a Classic Air Conditioning system sometime in the near future. That's going to be close to $2000, I think, so wheels will have to wait.
I powder coated (semi-gloss black) a set of original 4 lug steel wheels. They will probably go on my '63 Falcon so I can get some cruising time in this year. I'm not crazy about spending a ton of money for four lug wheels, and I just like the plain look anyway.

Thanks for the responses. Those are pricy but they would look good. I don't suppose my tires would fit on those? I really wish they made a torque thrust style wheel. I want to keep my I6 but make it look like a big motor car.

Virginia Classic Mustang sells wheels that look a lot like those Indy Slots. There called Ansen Sprint Slots. 4-lug. There only $139.95 each. Just polish them if you want a shiny look.

PS--and that's a clean looking car. Would look good with some original style wire spinners hubcaps.

Thank you. The picture doesn't show the other side for a reason. It needs a 1/4 fender. Hopefully this weekend I will be getting it repaired. What do the original style wire spinner hubcaps look like? Should I keep the original look?

Pictures of your 4 lug wheels please.
That's the color scheme I wanted in torque thrust. I do like these as well!
