What Year / Model Mustang Do These Wheels Belong

Grandfather found these in a pile of ford parts he picked up. Thought they might have been 99-00 v6 wheels, but some center caps from that year don't fit. I'm now starting to think they may have come from a mustang from 94-96 era. Tell me what they belong on. They are 16x7.5. Thanks :-)

They're 99-02 V6 wheels. I actually believe they were only optional on 00-02, but the same wheel was offered as the base wheel in 03-04, albeit painted silver and with a solid center cap, not the one with the exposed nuts.

You need to find the center caps that fit. 94-97 Cobra center caps MIGHT fit them, as they were very similar. These wheels look very good on Rangers and Explorers too, and they are the same bolt pattern so they are a direct fit. They also fit Escapes.

Can you believe the silver painted silver ones were on occasionally on base GTs in 2000?

Those are crazy small wheels.

Lol well the car is bigger, and wheels are bigger, but they're still too small for the power. Too narrow, not enough contact patch and offset too high!
