Wheels and Tires?
I got a 1972 Ford F-100 for my first car. I'm sixteen and I am in over my head. My first question is where in the heck do I find wheels for it? And what size should they be? HELP.

Myself I don't like the looks of big wheels and low profile tires on a bump.
The same with old muscle-cars, it just don't look right to me.

Re: Wheels and Tires?
I had very little money but was able to find some 15x8 steel wheels and just stripped them and the stock fronts and repainted them new holland bianca white. It made a big difference along with lowering it.
