Question Wheel Poll .......

I've considered chrome Bullitts (Crager Series 610), Ford Chrome Bullitts 18", Ford GT, BBS RGR, Mille Miglia EV-S. - let me not forget the very affordable ASA AR1's - which I forgot to add to the poll. I'll throw this last one as one of my earlier favorites - MB Motorsport VR5S

Another two to add to the list:

Chrome Ford Racing Mustang Wheel
Would this one work on a 2005-07 Mustang?
2007 SVT Mustang Cobra Wheel

Im glad you started this poll. I have been considered the same wheel choices as you except instead of the first rim pic (cragars) i was considering the GT500 style rim in chrome. Im still undecided on what to do...

My input - the Millie's were the first wheels I got for my '05 when I took the stocks off.....

If weight is an issue for you, skip the Millie's - they are HEAVY......

Out of those, I'd choose the ASA's.
If the Cragar's were 5 spoke instead of 6, (a 6 spoke Torque Thrust style wheel just looks weird, IMO) I'd probably choose those.

EDIT: I voted for the Cragar now that you've changed the pic to the 5 spoke. I didn't even know they made a 6 spoke Torque Thrust until you posted that first pic.

.......as I was saying: If the Cragars looked like their Classics, probably would have selected them.

Question Offsets .....

Excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject - but are'nt the Ford GT wheels offset incorrect for the Mustang ? I've heard that the Amercian Racing Wheels that are used on the Shelby CS6 have this problem. Also weight comes into my decision as well since I don't want to add any additional weight to this car.

Doesn't Brad have them on Project Source Horse. I know he did at one time. Not sure if he still does.

Voted for the Ford GT wheel like project Fire & Ice. They're made by BBS and look really good, though probably $$$... On a side note, the ASA wheel is a licensed version of a BBS wheel (forget exactly which one) - so it is not quite as light. HRE's or Fikse wheels like on the FR500C also look good but are really expensive. I dunno, guess it's the road-race fan speaking...

Either the BBS or the ASAs. Also, Fiske, who makes the wheels for the Grand-Am Mustang, puts out a nice forged wheel.

Chrome Ford Racing Mustang Wheels

Does anyone know if these wheels will work on a 05-07 Ford Mustang?
