Personally I think the 2004 Mustang GT wheels are nicer. The Torque Thurst D knock off's, and they do look good on thirdgen Camaro's and Trans Am's.

Ahh, thanks for the correction !

If you're gonna run spacers, might as well run ZR1's or such ..

Id assume custom adapters would eliminate the ford wheel's

price advantage.
