Guys - These are the reproduction Mustang GT/Bullit wheels with bowtie center caps. They look great on Mustangs - got'em on my '00 GT vert. I had my SS on stands and put one on for the hell of it and it looked Seems down right wrong to put them on an LS1 car. Imagine a Mustang with 5-spoke ZR-1 SS wheels - seems wrong as well. These wheels are available with black centers - check out the 2004 Ford Racing Catalog. They are alternatives to TT2's, but Ford styling on on a SS?!

These still for sale? Still haven't seen 'em on the Discount Tire site. I can't afford these yet but I will probably get a set of the gray ones by July or so if I can still get them.
