Good luck with those, but I personally think they would look good on an import not a stang.

I'm partial to the stock bullit wheels, torque thrust II's, and cragars myself. Because the car is retro..... these weels just look perfect. Anything else, in my humblest of humble opinions, doesn't fit. It's your car though, so go with what makes you happy. That's all that matters anyways.

I think they look pretty good. AE is a good wheel company. But the only size I saw with the right offset for our cars is in 20". 17 and 18 didnt have right offset, with the biggest being +27mm for 17 and 18

click on the small pic of the wheel to see offsets.

I don't like 'em to be honest; maybe they're just not my style

Thanks, for the input I was originally looking at Cragars or Chrome Bullits. Didn't see the offset, don't understand all that anyway. Haven't bought aftermarket wheels for almost 30 years back then there weren't as many to choose from. Thanks for the headsup on the offset, I'm not going to go 20's just to get these wheels. Price is around 270.00 each at Discount Tire haven't hagled with them yet. I liked the general look of a 5 spoke with a little something different. Well back to the hunt.

Not my style either... I agree with StangerX; I like the traditional muscle car look.

There are a million posts on the boards here about take-offs from the GT cars. they look GREAT on the car. You can pick up a set for around $1000 and that INCLUDES the tires. Folks like Saleen take them off of the GT's when they mod them up. They sell them off discount just to make a buck. It's a great way to get the good look of the bullit wheels without worrying about fitment. Also, you can check out the American Racing Torque Thrust II's. They're a great looking wheel that works. TONS of options out there if you're looking for that classic style.
