      New 2011 Mustang wheel prototype

      Hello all! First off I hope everyone has a fantastic 2012!

      Here's a couple teaser shots of our new model which we made for the 2011 Mustang. We were playing around with giving this first set a funky color combination but ended up going with a more classic gold. The color looks more bronze in the pictures but its actually a lighter shade of gold in sunlight. Hope you all like them. Ill post more when we have taken some good shots on car.

      They look pretty cool. Back in the early ninetys we had a very popular whel here in oz called a simmons b45 which was a 3 piece wheel that was very similar.
      And they are also reminisint of the famous Ford Bathurst globe wheel from the seventys. I have attached a couple of pics of both for you. If you think that they are similar i reckon that the Ford guys down here will go nuts for them.

      Never did see those Simmons...I guess ours look like a modern version of those. We took inspiration from the Ferrari wheels that they used on Le Mans cars in the 60s. Well...glad you guys like! Ill post more later on when they are fully assembled and mounted on the car.

      Very nice wheels....love the design. The Ferrari wheels were also the inspiration for the Ford Bathurst design and the subsequent Simmonds wheels - still very popular.

      Are you planning to offer 5 x 4 & 3/4" PCD (GM) pattern?

      These are currently not our lightest wheels as there are several areas where we can remove material, as is the centers weigh 13 lbs. which compares favorably with the BBS LM Forged/Spun 19x10 which weighs 27.5 lbs.

      We will be offering them in GM bolt patterns! However, we most likely will only make a limited number of these.
