I know they are expensive but its because they are lightweight racing wheels. You get what you pay for I guess.

Who cares what everyone thinks?!?! Pick whichever YOU like! Those Volk pieces are pretty pricey. You're in BBS territory there. I personally would go to BBS, but it's up to you!

Both Volk and Work wheels are EXCELLENT quality, some of the best (and priciest) Japanese wheels you can buy. They're huge in the import scene.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. The only wheels you listed above that I think might fit the Mustang well are the GT-V, since the spokes are larger. The spokes on the other wheels are thin, and I don't think they would fit well with the hulk of the Mustang's body, might look out of place.

Plus, have you seen F&F: Tokyo Drift? Volks on a Mustang (67 Mustang I believe). Just looks funky.

IMO they all look like they belong on an import. No disrespect meant to you man, but that's my opinion. #2 is the best, but still...... they won't look right on a Mustang if you ask me.

Retro car + modern wheels = confused.

The reason I chose these wheels is because of their great quality and that they are very lightweight performance wheels. I dont know of any other brand of wheel that makes good quality racing wheels that have a showy look. Which is what im looking for. I like HRE and Forgeline wheels but they are over a grand a piece and that is way too much to spend for me. But yes I do agree that they could look very wrong on my car. Then again they might look great. Any suggestions?

Those wheels would do just as well used as boat anchors. I just wish someone made a good lightweight wheel that has a muscle car look.

If I absolutely had to pic one of those wheels, then I would choose the #2 link. Other than that . I'm with GTX, Carroll Shelby wheels. Made specifcally for our cars, and have that old school look. Its actually what I have on order!! A set of CS67 18 X 8.5 Anthracites!!!Only a few weeks to wait till they finally arrive.
