They look more like import wheels to me (opinion) since your going for 16 inch rims why don't you look for some ultra light rims maybe 12 pounds or so. How much do those weigh? Unless you don't care about speed. If money is an issue buy 1 used rim for now I am sure someone here is selling one. P.S does anyone know the lightest rims for a Mustang not including the spare lol. P.P.S I think you misspelled clutch. Good Luck

I think it's a little ricey also, but you can check around local racing websites, theres usually some used rims real cheap on there. i had an offer to get a full set of 17" bullit rims for $300. i now have the money and wish i had gotten them

Click to expand...

i prefer the spokes to be inset into the wheel... i'm not a fan of this style. Just my opinion though.

If anything, they look like cheap ripoffs of the FR500's. 7" is to narrow a tire, I wouldn't settle for anything smaller than 8.5".
