I personally like the look of the 10th Anniversary Cobra wheels in 18" 18x9 up front and 18x10 in the rear.  Replicas can be had in both 4 and 5 lug bolt patterns and I have seen package deals for both tires and wheels in 17" for 1149 mounted balanced and shipped to your door step.  I also like the FR500 wheel in Anthracite.

The Torque Thrusts, in my opinion, just don't fit the look of these cars. Old school often doesn't with them. Find something newer, that you just don't see on these Thunderbirds. That's why I bought the 10th ann. wheels. I didn't see them on any other Bird. I wanted it to be different, but maintain good looks.

those Torque Thrusts are what the "Bullitt" wheels are made from. They were on Steve Mcqueens Mustang.

I agree the torque thrust d's just don't belong on our cars.  These cars are too modern looking imo.  Awesome wheel but they look better on muscle cars, etc.

You could always do 17" Bullitt's from a new edge or s197 Mustang.
