Are you sure they come in 18's? How wide will they be? Where'd you get the info?

Like I said in the other thread about these wheels, I know thery'e made by California Pony Cars. Right now they only offer them in 17x8 and that's only for 65-73 and 94-04. Nothing at all for '05+. They are $350 each.

Those would look cool if they were deep dish and put on a Shelby GT-H.

Thanks, jacostang.
Hopefully, they will be wider than the 8's they offer now and with a much more reasonable price.

well,for my 2 cents- some designs dont lend themselves well to high offset wheels, and this is an extreme example...looks like a hubcap to me.

When I saw their ad in Mustang Times about 6 weeks ago, I called them. Was told that they were working on just 20 " for now and had no idea when/if they would make anything else. Went with the AFS Mach I's. They may have gotten alot of inquries and decided to go with other sizes. Just my personal opinion but I think 17's would be the way to go if they make them.

I think you're right, the max they should go is 17" to maintain the perspective of the originals. But one other thing about them.......NO (or very little) brake cooling capacity. Too bad....'cause they could be pretty

I wonder why they chose 14's. The 14's have been available for years and I wouldn't think anyone would put 14's on any 94-07's.

I love 'em! But no bigger than 18", and not for $350 each. The only thing that could justify that price is high demand, and I doubt that'll happen. Retro is cool, but for that price, I'd get some Halibrands like the Cobra roadsters used to wear.

The more I look at them. The more they remind me of a pizza platter. I had a set on my 66. And I actually kept them instead of giving them to the buyer.
