I am also very excited to hear about the quality of the wheels, and see how they look on a thirdgen.

I posted about them in the Body section yesterday, after redfirebirdman showed them to me on eBay and I went ga-ga over them and their awesome price.

They came in this morning and they look great. It looks a lot better in person then it does with the pictures. There is a clear sticker that I didn’t take off yet on the center cap. That’s why you see that little crease and why it’s not as shiny. Also the machine lip looks a lot shinier then it does in the picture. Maybe when it’s out in the sun the picture will come out better. Should be on my car by the end of the day, as long as there is not too many people getting tires today.

That's awesome, man. I'll check the thread again tonight to see if you posted any pics of them on the car. Great to know that they look as good or better in person. Are they very heavy, compared to a stock wheel?

Can't wait to see them on your car. These are the same ones I am getting also when I get the money. We were talking about these in the other thread the other day. Here is the web site for the company that sells these REPLICAWHEELS.COM Deffently let us know how they hold up. The company themselves has free shipping so I'm not sure what would be a better deal, the company or the ebay guy.

Wow, yeah, it is a bit hard to see the details in those shots. lol The 4th one down shows them pretty well, and they look good.

Any idea if the 245 tire is the widest that would fit with this setup without any rubbing/mounting issues, or is there room for more?

Dude, kudos to you for spotting these on eBay and showing them to me. I never would have seen them. I still can't get over the price! I think little 15" Torq Thrust IIs and other similar wheels go for way more for these, and these are 17"!

look good man. i was going to buy the same set, then i found a better deal on the same exact wheels on performancetireplus.com. the only difference besides price was they had the snake emblem on them. after about 2 weeks of deciding, i am now waiting for my 17x9 cragar ss. a 275/45/17 tire is also a little too wide for these wheels, another reason why i went with 17x9's.

Mine are dark silver, same wheel though. have the cross flags and everything. forget all that bidding carp, I got mine out of cali at the website below. They came with tires, lug nuts, chrome valve stem covers and caps, and locking nuts for each wheel for like 900 bucks shipped.

Nice choice man. The black with the polished lip goes great with the white paint.

check them out: they look good on about anything. new or old.

Cool! Those are "Bullitt style" wheels, they came standard on the Bullitt Mustang and every GT since 2003? They look awesome!
