Cobra R's makes it look like it belongs on the street. The American Racing Vintage makes it look like it belongs on an oval. The car doesn't know where it belongs with the last set, but I am not a huge fan of aftermarket looking rims.

I like the Cobra Rs. I have a set for mine that I'll be putting on once I get tires for them. I also like the Saleen wheels, they are a type of star wheel, that's what I was going to get for mine until I got a deal on the Cobras that I couldn't pass up.

The Ansen's give it the look of the period, which isn't often seen.

Chooglins wheel choice of the wed rodlites give it that retro look with a modern spin. Take a look into them if you'd like

I like the Ansen's too, The Cobra R's look real nice, but you see them a lot on these cars.

I may be the only one but I always liked the look of the TRX's you have on your car.

I like how the stock TRX wheels look also. It's just too bad about tires.

The Thunderbird specific TRX wheels are unique in and of themselves.  They are the true retro look!  The bonus of the getting a set of tires for only $250 makes it seem like a no brainer to use the OEM pieces. 

One of my favorite mods was the member who put the TRX wheel centers in larger rims with a standard tire size.

I have always liked the style and they're a great feature on stock vehicle.
