I have the mentioned black centered ones. I love them, especially 4 the price. My only negative comment is: Do the chrome ones come w the same cheap @$$ center caps mine did?
Don't get me wrong, I am very happy w mine. But, the centers looked goofy, and are just a decal foam double side taped to a cheap plastic ring. I lost 2, but actually like them better sans caps. I just painted the hub black. Not thinking that would work w chrome though.
I also bought OEM Ford caps 4 their bullitt wheels--too big-didn't fit. I have not found a good cap 2 fit (though I kinda gave up cause the no cap look suites me). One option my friend offered was to just lathe some out of billet...that would probly look cool w chrome.

You can get American racing TTM fully chromed. The board sponsor TomZwheels sells them.

If you like the style check out the AR TTM's. Much better quality wheel and IMO "belongs" on a F-body.

I have the cragar s/s 17x9's, the ones that come on the zl1. They look pretty good. I would try to find some of those instead of mustang wheels. Thet almost look alike.

they look a lot like the cragars used on the zl1's, which are what i have on my ss and i love them.
and, not to stir this pot again, let's not forget that they're not "mustang wheels." ford didn't just create the wheel design, it's been around for decades on lots of different cars.
but like some others said... i'd go with the ar ttm's over some random replica, for safety's sake.
