Depends on how they look ha ha... I like trying to bring it back to stock but those magnum 500s look sweet though. If you have something email me at jroth823@gmail.com and I'll take a look. Thanks!
Hey,
I'm assuming 4 lug? If that's the case there your choices will be limited,as 64-66 6 cylinders left the factory with 4 lug steel rims and hubcaps. There are not alot of aftermarket offerings that will bolt up.
If you're bringing it back to stock,you're most of the way there the car appears to have some of the optional wirewheel spinner hubcaps.
One thing to consider I've always been very leary of the stock 64-66 6 cylinder spindles ,they were light duty. If you place wide rims /tires on them it places extra stress on them. I've seen a bunch break over the years.Scary stuff.
I have a feeling your car is/was a "Sprint" Model. I 'd be curious what your air cleaner looks like? What is your cars build date? Does or did you car have a center console? Do you happen to know if the quarters were ever replaced? Just curious.

4 lug is definitely what I have... The wheels that are on there now are actually just mismatched caps and one is even broken. I don't plan on putting anything wide on them just trying to get an even balanced look instead of my beaten up caps.
It's possible I have a sprint, althoughim not too sure how to tell ha ha... My car was built in 66 and I do have a center console... The car had a frame off restoration in 92 so Im not sure if they replaced the quarters... How can I see if it is or was a sprint??

Like I said 4 lug choices for rims are very limited. There was a sport type four lug rim that was used in the 70's on things like Mustang 2's that would fit,they are hard to describe(I had them on a 70's Mercury Capri I used to own).
You could always replace the mismatched hubcaps,you have a few choices,you have stock 66,stock 66 with spinners, wirewheel with blue center spinner caps. Another interesting idea some people do with the 4 lugs is they go with the styled steel wheel hubcaps,They're about $225 for the set with caps. The green 66 vert in my album has the wirewheel spinners, the red 65 vert has styled steel wheels. Mine are actual rims though. As far as a sprint,It was merely an appearance thing, I would need your actual build date(on your door tag) . Also what does your aircleaner look like? Is it chrome?
