I love the design of these wheels, but I would want POLISHED and not painted, and don't think they come that way. And PRICE....nope, the old fart needs to save for Social Security days. Either of the 2 wheels I chose will only run me $500 plus install...I don't think that is bad at all.

Yup, adding cold-air intake would be like when I drove my Dad's 57 Plymouth to the drive-in Root Beer stand...we would take the air cleaner off to make them sound BAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!! Love that "woooshing" sound!

The old fart's still got a little reaction time left in him, too....smoked a little teenie hotshot in his souped up Ford last night. He probably thought he was BAAAD, but found out he was SLLOOOOOOWWWWWW.

Those are 17" on PT, and the picture is a rendering and not accurate


I agree.......sorry man just trying to help :) don't get me wrong I like the rim.

Old fart indeed LOL!

I remember those drive-in movie days quite well thank you! ;)

And I don't think most people on here even knows what Geritol is these days - haven't seen a commercial for it in decades!

As far as smoking some unsuspecting punk in a brand new Mustang - I've done it twice now. I love it! :D

Oh... and I like the second set of wheels best! I can't believe anybody has stock rims that look like those!

4cyls come with rims that look like the second one from far away. Up close, stock doesn't look as good as these ones. They have a similar shape, just look at my stock ones in my cardomain site.

Yup, have looked at several others because of statements made here. Personally, I don't think they look the same for several reasons:
(1) Factory are painted and flat color...these are Diamond Cut Polished
(2) Factory are flat...these definately have depth and edges

What's funny is that I have looked online at literally thousands of wheels, and there are just so many different designs they can make, each with some subtle difference over a similar design.

This is the wheel I really wanted, because I like the looks the best...but I can't buy it in the U.S. because no one imports it.

Thanks...tried them, but don't have this model. Asked them to get them for me and they are not interested...QUOTE "We only carry what is on our website and can't special order anything."

They're made in Malaysia... called them direct...NO LUCK. Had one of my friends in our Singapore plant call them....NO LUCK. Sent them emails....NO LUCK.

Guess I'm SOL :x :o
