Here's another. One of them comes in 18" or 20". The other is only available in 20". Not sure which is which. One is called armano dunamis and the other is armano hampton.

That wheeltech site needs help...no pricing without calling, and the gallery is under construction....not too user friendly to me...oh well....great pics of wheels...

B) The Chip Foose designed LUSSO wheel can be found on several sites with prices. My local Discount Tires will match or beat most prices I've found. Proably will get the LUSSO's when the tax return comes back; :scratch: just have to decide if I want to stay with the 17s, go with a +1. +2, or ..... cost, sprung weight and ride harshness are all factors. Wheel Tech had one of the better photos.

Oh gosh they look horrid ! :shock:

I guess they'd look good if someone lived in Overtown Miami or Harlem, because they sure look "ghetto-fied" .

I don't mind those, although they might look better on black then the MG.....I have to agree with Shannon on the Armano Dunamis rims being very nice (those are the 2nd ones down/hamptons above them)....I'd have to see them on the car first as they aren't cheap and I'd hate to end up looking too "bling bling"....I guess the 18" black bullitts are the safest bet all around on this car....the chrome and hyperblack are nice too....

Those are Billet Specialties, right? Like Trepanier's Fast Forward Fastback?
I like the direction--more of a modern look not a "stuck in the '60s" look. But you do need to lower it to make work right IMHO.

Those are American Racing Rebels. I had a set fitted on my car and didn't like the offset spacing. The 18x10's stuck out to far in the back.

What do you guys consider too much bling-bling? Some people say the same thing regaring chrome bullits.....

I wanted the AR Rebels, didn't like the backspacing so I ordered a set of 18" AR Torq Thrust II's Chrome. So if that is bling-bling....then I can live with that :P

I don't like the way those look on the new stang.... a little too retro.

Have you actually seen the Mag 500's on this car??? The car is retro from Ford. Your individual theme (look) is retro. These were the standard wheels for the Shelby GT350 for model year '66, esp. for the GT350H. How are these not the prefect wheel? Just busting ya' for fun is all, no hard feelings please.

I have not seen anyone post a pic w/ them but would like to. Anyone have these wheels or can someone do a photochop w/ them plezzz???! I would prefer on a white or legend lime GT. 1967 Shelby model's were somewhat similar, just slightly more pronounced.

There is a photoshop in here somewhere with those rims on it and I don't like em. I wasn't born yesterday. I know the car is "retro" in a way but that doesn't mean everything old will look good. Look at the chop where a guy put on a 64 1/2 grill on the 05 stang. It looks horrid but he likes it.

To each their own they say.

Do you know where that photoshop is? I would like to take a look at it. Never said you were born yesterday, just trying to solidify my point is all. I do not like rocker stripes on this car. They do not look correct (ride too high on the car) esp. w/ the GT350 or GT300. Like you said "but that doesn't mean everything old will look good" and "too each his own." But that is why this car is so great, each one of us can build what we like.
