Just saw these on 5.0Resto.com....I think they would look sweet on my 82 GT...the price is right at less than $120 each. Anybody have these??? Thoughts, comments...

I remember seeing these rims on a coupe back in the late 90's and had been hunting them ever since. I recently saw them in a few places. check out replicawheels.com or wheelreplicas.com one of the 2. if its for your silver car in the avatar the dark ones(not black) w/ the polished lip would look great.

I love the wheels, I just don't think they look as good in 4 bolt as they do in 5 bolt. I will probably either pick up a set of those in 5 bolt for my '86, 17x9 front and 17x10 out back or a set of 18x9/10 Saleen repros.
Four bolt - five spoke wheels never looked right to me when the bolt holes are visible..... maybe it's just me?

I agree with the five rather than four. never thought they looked right. thats why i had to go to 5 lug. think the 18x10 will fit in the rear?

I love those wheels and think they look good on that '85 (and would as well on your '82), but being a Saleen enthusiast the car looks just a tad naked without the front airdam, side skirts and the rear valence spats ;)

With rolled fender lips and reversed quad shocks, I've had them fit with a 1" drop in the back. I've had 18x9s all around (91-93) with 1.25" drop all around with no problems either, but with the 10s out back you can't drop it too much or load it with four people. I'd also probably stick with a 265 tire out back with a 10" wheel.

DAMN!! :eek:
I like the black ones.
Hmm... put those MM lower rears on and 17X10 out back and 17X8 up front. Man... My GT would look hot!
My 85 GT is lowered 1" all around. 650 "C" Springs up front and 250/275 H&R springs in the rear.
