so far i am sticking to my fanblades, they looked good on the marauder but i am not feeling them on the stang. I think i am going to swap to Alcoa Shelby wheels when i get the cash but those are my final or close to final mod

they'd look good on a lowered GT, not so much on the 4x4 V6

look great on a black Marauder. Not so much on the Mustang. I'd opt for the 18" Bullitts instead.

You can't "opt" for the 18" Bullitts on the pony pkg.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the real question "Aren't the Marauder wheels better looking than what was on the pony pkg. before?"

Well, if it makes you feel any better, the fanblades are just a glorified Crown Vic wheel.

Those wheels look great. I did however see the most disturbing thing ever today. Bullitt style wheels on one of those import pickup trucks, complete with the pony centercaps.

Seriously, they don't look right on the mustang, and the plain, flat, overchromed surface kinda looks like you could buy them off the shelf at Wal*mart. They'd look better on a black car, and not a Mustang.

I'd like to see them on a black, red or vista blue stang, I think they'd look really good on there. I do kinda agree they're a bit too "cromey". I never thought I'd say that, I must be getting old.

Argh... Old man wheels on a fastback modern muscle car isn't exactly a good match. The Marauder tried to be modern muscle but failed miserably. In stock form, it's on-par with a stock 8th gen Civic Si in the 1/4 mile, which is respectable for both cars but hardly "modern muscle".
