    I bet those Foose wheels will go every bit of that $400 a wheel. I love the things Foose does and those wheels look great but I don't care for alot of Foose wheel designs.

    Yea, but you gotta admit they have to be one of the most versatile wheels out there. I don't know that I have ever seen an older car that those wheels didn't look awesome on.

    I'm planning to either go with Torque Thrust II's, or (I know, I'm crazy) stock 6 spoke '95 Mustang GT wheels. Possibly Magnum 500's if I can find a good deal. (my dad gave a nice set off a '72 Comet away when we moved in '99 :slap: )

    OH those arn't even close to cheap. Except for modular 3 piece wheels I think Foose has some of the most expensive wheel's out there.

    They still don't have the price together for me, I would have bought them by now, You'd think they'd want to make the sale? The funny thing is, a buddy offered me a set of Centerlines today...made me think...and their cheap!!

    Two 1973 LDO Mavericks (one 4 Drag one 4 driving like Mad on the roads :) ) also have a 75 6cyl Stock! Ok, well sort of Stock :P
    get anything yet?

    the reason why they don't have a price is because they don't have them. they are made to order.. they don't want to keep stock on bolt patterns and offsets when they don't need to. the outers of those rims are for sure are made here. there only 3 companys make the non-steped outer in the US however the centers are mostly made over seas. the rims are actualy MHT which they just licence the name from him. in a way they aren't really "his" rims he just endorses them. nice way to make some money.

    let us know any updates i would love to see them.. and yes like someone said they are probably over 400 each! don't forget the price of the tires too!

    I called them back, and the guy still couldn't get the price, he wanted to sell me something else, kinda weird since he knew I was ready to spend 3500-4000 on wheels, but I guess they didn't want my business?? I've been too busy at work to ask anyone else, but once it starts to snow I'll work on getting them.

    Intro Wheels have rims with that type of lip. I think they do good work also. I was thinking of getting a set from them because they are one of the few companys that will make a rim wider than a 10 inch for some extra money of course.

    I found a wheel today that will fit or cars so the company tells me with the backspacing it comes with. It's called RT5 by Wheel Tech. Comes in 17x7, 17x8, 17x9, 18x7, 18x9. the 7 wide rims have 4 inch backspacing, the 9 wide rims have 5 inch backspacing, so the 8 wide rim should have 4.5 backspacing. I know 7's & 8's will fit. I posted a picture on another post about wheels. Those foose wheels will cost $349 for 17x7 and the price goes up from there.
