I love them. They look better than I thought they would.

However, I DO have to lower the car now, something I didn't want to do. But you gotta pay to play right?

http://customwheelsmarket.com/ (they're not on their website though)

The company that makes them is Verde Wheels. They're actually Mustang Bullet knockoffs but in a 45mm Fbody offset.

I'm surprised no one has picked up on that yet.

You'd fall to the floor if you heard how little I paid for them.

With chrome, locking lugs I paid $482 shipped.

Tack on the Eagle F1 tires that I bought off here from someone for $200 and that equals a nice combo for hella cheap

Gahhhh rain on the new rims! You're a much braver man than I. Either that or less obsessive compulsive. Sweet rims at an even better price

Ford had to pay the makers of the torque thrust wheels to use that design. so you bought knock offs of knock offs...

looks good though, and ill agree that it needs lowered, but you can only do one thing at a time
