For now, the standard rims will do, but it will be interesting to see the 05 with different rims on it (I prefer more of a classic stang look). I happen to love the magnum look, maybe someone will make a Magnum 500 with the right offset. just cant wait to get my car, seems like I ordered it a long time ago (but it is only 2 weeks)

I spoke with their rep and he said that they tried all the 17x8 rims in their inventory and all of them fit and looked good.
I would say that too if I had a bunch of SN95 wheels laying in stock. But they still have the wrong offset.

I agree about the wheels and the wait. I just ordered mine last Sat. I've been thinking about the billet Magnum 500s from Billet Vintiques:


They're not cheap but you can get them up to a 18 x 9.5" with any off-set/backspacing you need. I like the ARE Torque Thrust II even better but the max back spacing on the size I want(18 x 8) is 5 1/4" which I think would stick out of the wheel wells in the front.

I agree. Just because it's retro doesn't make it good.
