sick but do they come in anything larger than the 16" that the V6 has? or even larger than a 17" since I have seen halibrands in 17? I want them in 18" darnit.

I've seen those, They look great especially since they are bigger than what Ford offeres them.
Only thing is I would prefer the machined w/painted look than the all chrome look on Halibrands. That would make it perfect.

Those are beautiful wheels, but with that much chrome you would almost have to figure out a way to polish them as they rolled down the street. They would be great for a car show, but like Manny said, I prefer the polished lip and painted spokes for my driver.

What he said. Those are great show wheels, and high maintenance go wheels.

I bet that they would look great on a black car.

The Halibrands are supposed to be available in 18", but noone seems to currently have them. They were on tirerack a while ago but seem to have vanished.

What wheel does everyone think is better on Satin Silver, chrome, painted, brushed, polished? I clean the car every day, are chrome wheels really that hard to care for?

Don't want to talk you out of them, just be aware, they will require constant attention or they won't look as good as a simpler design, IMO.

When I first decided on my wheels, I was going to order these, only fully polished (outside and inside) spokes.

I started having nightmares about being owned by a black pony with polished hooves
