look good, but really no better than chrome bullits...might want to compare the prices since I have no idea how much the boyds cost, but pretty sure they're expensive.

I agree that they look like factory wheel reps, but, when standing still, any Mustang afficionado will know that you have a quality wheel that looks good. just my opinion

Actually I prefer wheels on a car that look like they could come from the factory with them. I want the attention on the car, not the wheels.

It depends on how much you want to pay for his signature. Because that's pretty much what you'll be paying for. :stubborn:

I'd have to see them in person. Before I ordered my car I planned on putting boyd's Smoothies on the car. I then saw them in person and almost died when I saw how awful of a seam they have. Glad I didn't order them.

The rims you posted above do look pretty nice and although some say they look like the factory fan blades, on a car you would know they are not. A lot of people said my Torq Thrust II's would look like factory bullits, but now that they are on they do not look like factory rims. Just because they have 5 spokes does not mean they will look the same.

I was think of going with these in 18x8 in the front and 18x10, with a 1.5" drop.


Has anyone used that set-up yet ??

I hate to say this but, they look kind of like a daisy. It would be ok for a girl car. I'm not too sure if I like them much.

I first saw them on American Hot Rod. There not the same wheel but there close.




I guess your right though, if you stare at them a little they kind of do look like a daisy.

Like any mod you make, it has to make YOU happy. I think they look good but everybody is going to have different opinions here. Too expensive, too similar to a cheaper model, etc. Differences are that a good model is less likely to flake if it's chrome and the dealer is more likely to stand behind the model. Go with what you like and can afford. It's not like your going to swap them out again in a year (most likely not, anyway). Besides, everybody want's to be a little different and chrome bullits are going to be everywhere before you know it.
