Turbines or 5-spokes (wheels)

At some point I'm getting wheels an tires for the '67 Galaxie. May choices are pretty much narrowed down to 80's Crown Vic turbine wheels or 2002 Crown Vic 5-spoke wheels.

I've got a set of turbines already. Here's how it'd look with those (not my car) - LINK. And here's a pic of the 5-spokes - LINK. I really like the 5-spokes, but so far everybody has said go with the turbines. What does FordMuscle say?

Nice looking Gal, kind of looks like mine should... but I'm going with the magnum 500's. I do like the look of the turbines as well.

The 5 spoke have a modern look that doesn't seam to fit with a classic Galaxie. the turbines seam to be a good fit.

Re: Turbines or 5-spokes (wheels)

Ok guys I guess I'm going with turbines!

Now from what I've read the stock 15" tires equate to 215/75/15, is that right? And does anybody know how many teeth the drive gear would have? It's got an MX trans.

I was really impressed with the turbines as pictured. Even with the white stripe.
