Thanks guys. Interestingly enough, I had just found the answer to this on another forum:

http://www.modularfords.com/forums/2...s-54741-8.html

I was just looking around there and happened to come across the same car there. iForged Classics was the right answer. I really like them but just found out they're about $3900. F that. haha

why stay away from them with an american car? I think they look killer on stangs....





there are several stangs with DPE and HREs on them, I think it really sets it off, I am thinking about this set from HRE for mine....



but like I mentioned there are several companies that make this style, Iforged is probably one of the cheapest though, although Boyd Coddington makes some just like this and I dont believe that they are forged 3 piece wheels so they should be cheaper.

The blue vert looks very cool.If you think the euro wheels are pricey, check out a set of Simmons from Aussieland..they start out at around 2K on up depending wheel size and backspacing.

Since when are HREs and DPEs Euro wheels? HREs are made right here in Vista CA and DPEs are also made in Cali and go on a lot of American cars.

What makes these Simmons wheels so special? Or is it just where they are sold that makes them expensive?

the blue vert is another friends car

$3900 was with his discount if I remember correctly. Those wheels retail for over $1200 each.

With his discount it was about $2300. I was on the site and they were right around a grand a piece, depending on the size ofcourse.

Last night at the Roush show there was an 05 Black Pearl over Torch Red with those wheels on it. Centercaps said "RUFF Racing".

The wheels are made to fit whatever your application is.They build mostly race wheels and their customers don't shop Discount Tire for wheels like I do.
