    Well i guess you really don't need my opinion on this :rofl2:. Nothing against aftermarket wheels but i just don't care for that style of wheel.My 2 cents is that on a silver car a set of original style Torq Thrusts would look killer.

    I think we're getting a little off topic - the original question was the current aluminum wheels or the current steel wheels. :biglaugh: But while we're at it. I love Magnum 500s.

    The wheels are the stock 14's but I think the chrome center
    caps are. Rob works in a Ford dealer parts deptartment and he
    thought they looked neat.

    Those steelies look great. I would try to get a set of the chrome trim rings that some of the crown vic police cars with those wheels came with. That would really set them off. While your at it might as well put a police intercepter decal on the tail panel. After all that's what we all do at one time or the other, intercept the police that is :) - Matt

    Well since you asked, I like the steel wheels better. You could add trimrings for a sporter look. I do think age has something to do with it I have always liked Cragar SS wheels and I had a set for my car. I took them off because I wanted to have all the equipment that came with the Grabber package. I will save the Cragar SS wheels for another car.
