Montego Project - WHEELS?!

Hey guys, slow day at work today so I basically made a wheel configurator for my car in Photoshop. No, not a single website on all the interwebs has a 1968 Montego wheel configurator. Trust me, I checked the whole thing.

Now, I would like some input from you guys. I have a clear winner in my eyes, price and style are unmatched in my opinion but what do you guys think? I'll post the original and then in random order the remainder of the wheels I was able to put on.

Let the voting begin! I put the wheel name on the pic in RED so you can vote for your favorite.

I was going to come in here and say Mag 500s without looking at your pictures. Good work team.

Either that or TT-IIs.

MAG 500's.

Mag 500 or AR902.

But the answer is obviously Mag 500

Everyone of you picked the mag 500s so far. Which are awesome

BUT THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONES!

Finally someone is budget concious and that's the one I was leaning too even though I love mag 500s

Nibbles > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
06/05/2014 at 13:22

There's a reason for this

Also can you not shop your local junkyards for a while? They're bound to turn up; they were on like every car ever from 196x to whatever year man I don't remember

Torque-Thrust IIs. Think Bullit.

Mag 500s are one of the few wheels that look good on everything from that era. Need to replace the mopar version of those on the Super Bee...they got grossified,

I do like the MAG500's but every car from that era seems to have some sort of MAG500.

The problem with the MAG 500:

Of the rest of those presented, I kind of like the AR23s, but I'm not sold on any.

trying to get rid of those hubcaps! Blown up for your viewing displeasure. I'm going to miss my winged helmet logo though

yeah, typically picked clean though.

haha, I gotcha. The VN309 are almost Torque Thrusts, they are just "gray spokes" basically

I'm leaning towards these (it helps that they are brand new under $70):

I don't mind them, but if I was going so "traditional" I think I'd go with the mag 500s

"VN309" would pass but the Mag500's fit the best. Everything else is literally awful

Don't buy them in some stupid size like a 14" either, get a 17 or 18" so it'll look modern with a vintage flair to it.

We have expensive tastes! Are you going to get them or are you just toying with us?

I was leaning towards the 767.

And I don't plan on going that big with the rims, I don't need to show off my drum brakes.

I see those wheels all the time on trail trucks, don't get something thats going to cheapen the look of your car and make people say "oh it looks like he brought his beater today"

Mag500's, get them in 16's.

Classic 5 straight spoke American racings in grey finish in like a 16 or 17 inch would add some muscle to the car.

So you're vote is to the VN309, almost those wheels.

Well I know I can get center caps!

If I did Mags and center caps they'd have these center caps:

If the Mag500's are out of your budget, save and expand your budget. They are the most fitting wheel for that car. Don't buy something that looks like it has fake bead locks, 3 of those wheels pictured are made for trucks.

I have some 14x7 buick rallye sport mag wheels in my garage, if they were the same bolt pattern I'd sell em to you. No idea if they are though.

GM should be a 4.75 bolt pattern, Ford/Mopar uses 4.5

I have to say I DO LIKE the look of the back ones I mentioned, but that's all on the computer, i'd have to see them in person.

Pop 'em off and get some white letter tires and a fresh coat of paint on them steelies.

I dig the mag500's because they're classic, but the AR767 Outlaw II's give it a NASCAR vibe.

06/05/2014 at 14:51

meh the steelies are BLAND

Which was a BIG thing for the Montego/Cyclone in the late 60s

Whoa ... I'm going to have to re-evaluate our relationship status now.

06/05/2014 at 14:59

hahaha, I would pay for the 70 bucks each for the AR767's over keeping the steelies, they are really rough man.
