    The caps are reproduced with the red Mustang emblems.
    Dan/Craig have emblems for the centers that look spot
    on perfect.

    Dave, looks good. Just wanted to mention though that those wheels are cast not forged, good looking none the less.

    That is wierd, the ones I have seen in person were definately cast. You know they sourced them out to one of the wheel co.s of the time, at least I don't think they made them themselves. should be able to tell for sure by looking at he backside, every thing should have a machined finish, if it is rough it is cast.

    yeah, that's what ive read in my factory brochures so i just went with that...


    you're right, they're rough on the back side so they must be cast. another sales tool/gimic from Ford i guess :rolleyes:
