There are tons more drag wheels with a slightly more modern look. Those are a lil old school and wouldn't look too good on the new stangs, IMO. Are you looking for a 16 inch wheel? The older models may have clearance issues with the newer brakes on the stang. They do have a new product line that will allow you to run a 15 inch wheel and still clear most brake set-ups. Check out the rt-s S71 lineup. :drool:

go to corral.net in the wheels and tire section. Look for the s197 wheel thread. You will learn everything you need to know there, holmes.

315 is a PERFECT size for a 10" wide wheel. Most 275's will look a lil stretched. Even more so if they are nitto 555 drag radials. Ask me how I know.

275 nitto 555R on a 17x10 ponyR wheel. I haven't seen so much exposed lip since I had Mason over for dinner. :look: J/K Mason, don't kill me! :laugh:

It's a V6, auto-x and road course it :nod:. Drag racing is going to make you wish you bought the 5.0.

The first ones you posted will not take a lot of cornering abuse. You need to look elsewhere besides weld. Do you really want a drag race look on a v6? :look: There are plenty of sweet 17 and 18 inch wheels for your model. Hell, even 20's look decent on that huge body.
