        http://latemodelrestoration.com/ has those wheels...they have a set of 4 you can buy that come with deep dish rears. That would look a lot better!

        Tom, they also have deep dish FR500s!

          Not the same, and not offered in deep dish either, and they aren't hub centric, and they require spacers. Quit posting false information boXman :p

          Post a link to the the wheels, because they don't carry these wheels. Those are distorted versions of mine that look very different. American Racing makes these wheels with deep dishes. And they look sweet, for 3 times the price ($400 per wheel).

            Looks good, they go well with the car. Do they rub at all when the wheels are turned all the way?

              There it is.

                Well excuse the fuck out of me

                They looked like the ones you have, so I thought they were...and YES, they do have them in deep dish...I saw an ad in a Mustang resto catalog I have...not on the website.

                    Definitely! I need to lower the rear the most. They look disproportional for sure.

                        They really do look great! I'd thought they would look good, but I'm for some reason surprised by how good they actually do look. Only problem I see is that now I'm wanting to see some sort of paint or trim work that draws out the gray in the wheel centers, maybe a ghosted C-shaped stripe in the event you go to a darker body color.

                        How's the front-end scrub radius compared to the old Westerns?

                          Better than it was with the westerns. Since these are 0 offset and the westerns were negative offset. I have some ideas in mind for some painting details.

                            I had the same problem with my car and the 245/45's. I'm gonna use a 275/50 rear tire to get rid of that wierd look.
