Went old skool....new wheels

Thoughts??  They are legit Centerline's.  I know they are dated but were SUPER CLEAN and wrapped in brand new rubber!  Got them for three bills from a Mustang guy just down the road a couple miles.  Firestone 215/65's in front and Legend GT 245/60's in the rear.  Going to swap the fronts for 205/65's to shorten them up a bit.  Trimmed the rear fender well lip to the spot welds and still have a little rubbing issue with someone in the rear seat.  All the springs are from a '98 Cobra so I may go back to stockers in the rear and trim a little depending on what the gaps look like.

1988 T-Bird Sport Coupe--5.0 HO, MAF swap, 1-5/8" shorties, BBK/Flowmaster exhaust, Explorer intake, 70mm Edelbrock TB, T5, B&M short throw, Centerforce clutch and PP, disc brake TC rear w/ 3.55's, TC front brakes, '98 Cobra springs, DIY SFC's, other misc .  14.05 @ 98mph with launching too low and shifting too high.

I think they look good.  Like you said they are dated but give it a period correct look.  Maybe I'm just biased because our cars are twins?  Lol

I love the old-school small-rim look. I'd run a set if I could find some as cheap and nice as those.
