Opinions on selecting new wheels and tires for 69' Mustang Restoration

I am finally at the tail-end of restoring our 1969 mustang*. I will get it from the shop within a month. Last detail is the rims and tires.

Open to all ideas. Thanks Guys!

I might be blind (or ignorant), but 1969 what?

You didn't mention whether you want modern wheels or original wheels. If you want OGs, I like these a lot:

American Racing Torque Thrusts are always a classic. Or you could be a baller and throw on a pair of HRE P40s.

Something in gunmetal with polished accents might look nice

I agree, the American Racing Torque Thrusts always look good. I am thinking of going with the staggered look and having 18's in back and 17's in front. Not a drastic difference, but enough.

We carry several of the wheels from the American Racing Vintage Line. Take a look and give me a call with your bolt circle/offset requirements.

How deep is that paint? Wrist or elbow?
