Pretty sad Weld makes new wheels for the 05-06 Mustang and not us?? I can't believe Weld has not made a wheel that fits our cars without grinding the brakes? But yet the 05-06 mustang has been out for a few years and they make wheels for it? Our model cars have been out from 1993-2002 and still no wheel to fit the car? Someone needs to slap the **** out of the guy in development and get with the program. I bet there are more f-bodys around the country racing than 05-06 mustangs. Weld if you are listing or see this get your act together and make us a wheel that is made for our cars.

no.
lol jk. i heard something about their bolt pattern is alot more universal, meaning its not only the mustang that uses that pattern, therefore when they make wheels for mustangs, it fits many other cars too, as with our cars, they probably dont want to spend time making a wheel ONLY for our bolt pattern, that would be my guess...
on ebay they now sell replica cobra wheels, with multiple sizes and 3" lips, when the factory cobra wheels didnt have a lip, again they dont do this with our wheels, dont know the answer to that one though...

Yea I threw up a post a couple of months ago about the same thing. I saw the Draglites in Summit. 17x5.5's for "skinnies" for the front and 17x9.5's for the rear. You'd think that with a hundred thousand F-bodies with 16"+ rims from the factory they'd try to appeal to the market with something for us.
