Their website is broken for us, when you try to post links because it most likely requires a login.

Based on what I found in the URL though, are these the rims you're talking about?

I've always thought those were sharp-looking wheels. I'd love to see them on a '73. ::thumb::

Yes, they are steel with chrome plating.

Scott Drake makes some aluminum rims that look similar as well:

In terms of strength the Steel or aluminum better ?

Most modern cars have aluminum. Steel is fine just be aware that chrome plated steel on rims is a lot of up keep to keep the corrosion and rust from forming. Also from just a looks stand point I like the aluminum looks of this particular style better. The sharp edges on them make it look more defined than the soft rounded edges of the steel ones. Just my opinion though.

The wheels you were originally interested in came on Mustangs from the factory back in the 60s' and have kept their popularity.. Personally, I like them very much.. I also installed them on a 63 Ford Galaxy I had back then.. The style seems appropriate for those years..

They were easy to keep clean and a good coat of wax did wonders for the chrome finish. I waxed the wheels each time I waxed the car..

The aluminum wheels are also very appealing with the sharply defined details and have a more modern look to them..

It doesn't matter whether steel or aluminum is better, it's all a matter of taste. Keep in mind that all wheels must meet our federal DOT standards to be safe for driving here in the states.

Best of luck with your choice and hope all is well for you in Beruit..

I prefer the Scott Drake wheels shown above. The others are reproductions of the original type only correct on the earlier 1965-66 Mustangs. They just look out-of-place on our 71-73 cars. The Scott Drakes look slightly different so they appear more 'custom'.

The chrome version is made by Drake, the aluminum ones are by Legendary Wheels

Sorry - should've said "sells" rather than "makes."
