As much as I like Foose I don't like the look of those on the Mustang. Rubber bands for tires just make me scratch my head. You would seriously need to lower that car 2 inches and have a body kit installed to make it look good.

I have a set of eibock Sport springs that i would love to put on as soon as foose sends the new wheels with the proper offset if i lower the car now the back will drag and thats not what i need with a new car.

I have a pic' down the side you can see how the wheel sticks out to much if you lower the car with the wrong offset it will drag and im sure you know with $300 tires on the back it's not worth the risk.

It's not their problem FOOSE said it was the proper offset so the only person that i should be mad at is them but they said they are going to FIX the problem so they are offering me a new style of wheel and letting me roll on the LUSSO wheels till the new one's get here.

Here's what they look like on a Camaro: http://www.superchevy-web.com/features/0407sc_tv/
I think they would look great on a Mustang if Foose makes them with the correct offset and backspace.

They are so new I think that there a few variations... some have rivets some don't. We'll have to wait to see the production wheel.
