I had a set of those on order and changed my mind at the last minute.I like them, but not too crazy about the little "dots" all around the rim.Most of the people I work with didn't like them at all, but if you like them go for it..I kinda think it may be a little to "BLING BLING" on the 'stang

I looked at those rims way back in May. Problem is the offset is wrong and they will stick out too much. Also not avaiable in 18x10

The American racing site says in chrome or diamond cut with clear coat, (I assume that to be like a machined finish). those are 1/2 the price of chrome.

www.barretire.com, is the cheapest I have found for them on the net 128 for machined or 220 for chrome.

Barretire.com says 220 per rim chrome, or 128 for machined finish, per wheel. I can get a good deal locally through belle tire as well as tireman and they well give me a few hundred back for my 17" factory bullit rims.

bad move dont trade the bullit rims for those... They look good and all, just for the retro look, bullit looks 100% better...

Since when did chrome become bling-bling. These are not spinners ya know.

I have always wanted chrome rims but never got a set. I have a set on order now and can't wait for them to show up

Appreciate all the comments. I dont think they are bling bling either, I think theylook similar to the MB motorsports VR55 rims I have seen on other cars and think those look really good.

Well I guess the silver lining to waiting almost 4 months for a car is you have a lot of time to look at rims, exhaust tips, mufflers, floor mats, yada yada yada. Hopefuly car should be here in a couple weeks!
