I have seen that said quite a few times on here...I think a lot of that has to do with your age....maybe ?

If you've seen Muscle Cars since the 60's and 70's....these style wheels were on every kind of car back then.

It's only been lately that it's been more on the Mustangs.

I just think they look like Vintage Muscle Car wheels...that's why I like them

Thank Bullitt for that stigma with these kinds of wheels. It sucks, everyone says I'm wearing Mustang rims.

Not only that, but the base wheel on the 2005-2009 Mustang GTs was kind of a Torq-Thrustish interpretation, so people relate them to that. See?

Look at wheels on any brand car,there are plenty of copycat wheels,I saw a Chevy Cruise that had wheels that looked very similar to ZL1's,the mesh style is on everything,those Cragar's are retro COOL !!!

I'm sure that's true...and I do like that movie !

But when I think of those wheels....I think more of these







OR you could say the old Pontiac Rally wheels too !

Thought I'd post some more recent pictures that we took....a little better than just sitting in the driveway

Just curious, are they easier to clean by hand compared to the stock rims?

Much easier....I keep some "Wheel Wax" on them ever few months and everything just slides right off them....really no effort at all.

The factory wheels alway seemed to show brake dust so quick....these you can go a few hundred miles before you start to notice any....as oppose to 3 miles with the factory ones...lol
