Retro wheel look

Has anybody seen a new mustang with some wheels like this:



I am curious what one would look like with some thin rubber in front, and really fat rubber in the back.

Eh, Weld-style wheels looked good on the Foxes, but 'twouldn't look right on the S197.

The first 05 (RED) that Paul's High Performance ran in Car Craft had WELD DRAGSTARS on it. I think if you're making a car that looks like a straight line star, they would be fine. The issue is this car is not a FOX and can do much more than 1/4 mile out of the box. I find that any wheels MUST go well with other added parts. I went CDC on most of my body mods and I love the 18" Polished Bullitts, but if I had a Rousch Hood Scoop, Flat Black Stock Spoiler, some window louvers, and dropped the front end 3/4", then I totally would go old school wheels!
