What wheels for my Ranchero

Ok, what wheels do you suggest I get to replace the naff chrome things on there now?

 

Chrome reversed no caps.

 

or torque thrusts or cragar ss

 

slam that thing & put some moon disks on it, ditch that camaro mirror too!

 

Hmm been thinking about a set of five spoke with red bands, but here in the UK that lot would set me back about $2k!....:-(. So just dont know. Ive set a set of salt flats going cheap so might look good if it was slammed...

BTW you think that mirror is bad, take a look at the steering wheel and nice 70's Velor interior (Mind you the seats are 6 way electric) Think they may get the mexican blanket treatment.


Got a nice woodrimmed Grant wheel to go in there...

 

luxury haha

 

How about a set of the 65/66 Ford GT ralleys? Chrome centers and non script caps.
The Wizzard

 

Minilite's and slam it on the ground, 60's circuit racer style.

Steve.

 

Good idea steve! - Do they do em in 4.5" PCD??? If so where?

 

Hurst magnesium five spoke "mags" with whitewall slicks out back and thin white bias plys up front.

 

Yup!

 

Another torque thrust vote

 

Yep... see pic..

If you are going for the Vintage Roadrace Wheels, I'd get some Compomotive Replica Halibrand Knock Offs ( like the ones they sell for Cobra Replica's )

There is a Ranchero/ Cobra link.
Brock had a roundbody Ranchero with Cobra go faster goodies on it, and Shelby stripes...

 

Gloss black steelies with spiders and pinner whites...and lower her..A LOT haha

 

heres one we saw sitting on the side of the road.....possibly broke down ...??? my kid wanted to pick it up ....since we were driving the rollback at the time.... brandon

 

+Pinner whites and LOWER that *****... I mean bird.

2nd this, or chrome reverse with spyder caps, a timeless look. Gary

 

Raise the front of the car a bit higher than the back, then a set of 3 1/2 inch Cragar S/S on the front & 7or8 inch in the back with Redline Cheater slicks..

 

these look pretty clean on my friends

 

I am with CshaBang...gloss black steelies, whites and chrome lugs...and drop the thing!!!!!

 

...drop it low and go with "TTO" (torq thrust originals)

 

Ok, does anyone make lowered springs for the front then? - Rear drop is easy with a set of 4" blocks and bolts from speedway

 

If you don't plan to lower it, I agree with onpolished American 5 spokes. I do think it would look great lowered with red early style wheels with caps and rings.

 

Just cut coils from the front. Try a 1/2 a coil to start. I've only heard negative feedback about any of the lowering springs -- that they only lower it very mildly and make it ride like a lumber wagon.

 

this look never goes out of style

Yeah, man - I love this Ranchero!!

 

I'm partial to these- Fenton Hawks. I just picked this set up from Tuck so these aren't for sale, just suggesting them as they seem to go pretty well with your car's lines. And they're different.

 

I cut 1 coil out of my 61 wagon and it dropped 2". The ride is FIRM but thats better than it was before i thought it was going to flip over on every turn :O)

that is SOO KOOL!

 

my vote for original torques
