So far those Year One snowflakes have REALLY grown on me. I think I will get them in 4th gen offset though and use spacers. I plan to do a brake upgrade, and from what I hear, it usually pushes the wheels out a bit, and I don't like the way they look pushed out too far. That and I plan to do an 8.8 swap and will most likely use a 4th gen rear for the axles, brakes, and brackets and such. So I when I do that I can remove the rear spacers and just run fronts.

I bought my year one wheels through restoreamusclecar.com on their eBay store. Best price I found and they showed up in like two days.
The more I look at the snowflakes I agree- in charcoal or black they would finish off the car nicely.
I think you can get them in white which would probably look awesome but would add maintenance.

For those who were interested. I ended up just buying the 17x9.5 front and 17x11 Zr1 wheels... They are going to be painted to match the Charcoal on the bottom.
The paint got pushed back till around Feb due to the painter getting wrist surgery. So I still have a chance to change my mind on the wheels. Still tossing the idea of the snowflakes around...
Not sure if I want to be spending money on 315's for the rear...

Personally, I like the stockers, very rare and looked great.. The mesh ones were ok, but the stock Formula wheels with the fake hex head bolts were rare great looking animals.
I had an 89 5.0 TPI black Formula and miss the car. My 99 ha nearly triple the hp and tons of mods, but I still have very fond memories of the 89.
Great looking car you have there.

Budget I guess would be around $1500-2000... I don't mind used wheels at all as well, I would like a set that will look great paint matches in Charcoal...

I'm currently really digging these wheels, except I will get them with a stepped lip, and have the face painted to match the bottom of my car... what do you guys think. Will be setup so I don't have to run spacers also...

Those wheels are played out in my opinion... Also, those wheels above originated from a Shelby Cobra... They are a bit different from the Mustang wheels. I think I can get away just fine.

Was going to say Prostars. 17" knocks that out. RaceStars, 17x3.5" fronts, 15x10.5" rears. DarkStars would probably be close to the charcoal color. 17" and 15" set up always stands out to me.
