Eh, they're alright. Just don't fit our bodystyle much.

Glad you like them though, thats what counts.

I think they're ok. A little dish couldn't hurt, but for a factory wheel, not bad at all

Not a fan. I think the fanblades or 18" Bullitts fit the car MUCH better.

It does look better lowered but I'm still not feeling this wheel. Must be the squared edges of the wheel compared to the rounded lines of the S197. Might look better on an Edge stang

I saw these in person for the first time the other night at a Ford dealership in town. They look pretty good in person but not something I would want to pay extra for. If I was getting the Pony Package on a v6, I'd rather stick with the 17" Bullitts and upgrade on my own later. The Mauraders are good for the "instant bling" factor and if you have absolutely no plans for messing with the wheel/tire combination on your ride, ever.

There are two guys that get service here that have 11 sec Marauders. One cut and widened the stock rear wheels so you had no idea you were about to loose badly at the light to a Grand Marquis, even if you're driving a Lambo. The other one is a heavilly worked over Kenny Brown car. The average simple bolt-on Marauders that we get on Mustang club drag days run mid 13's.


The wheels are forged/polished, not chrome. And they look 'flat' on the Mustang, like they were photochopped on an angled photo of the car. Not bad, but not great.
