    I'm thinking that with those wheels, you would need spacers. could be wrong?
    Dodge has some 17" wheels that will bolt right on the big brakes with no spacers.
    And they look just like the Ford Fanblades found CV sport models.

      Also wrong offset I believe. 17" as well, so it doesn't much matter if they make 16" white walls

      Not much choice for whitewalls anymore. Bullitts would also look decidedly bizzare with them IMO. Those are more fitting for turbines or wire spokes or something more old school styled. Steelies with moonies and maybe some trim rings would do fine with whitewalls though.

          That's the HPP wheel. If it's an actual OEM wheel, it's made by BBS and worth every penny. I have seen them for way more than that. Though if you find a set in a yard, you'll pay that much for 4... they won't be as minty fresh, though.

            yeah those work well. There is a Mercury cap for them too, but not the easiest thing to find. Any 98-02 wheel works, but those are high up on my list of favorites.

                I know one is bent a little but guy said it still hold air and it's only the lip. I think it could get fix. And if not I'll just use it as a spare when I find another one. How would I know if they are reall hpp wheels is there a code on them

                      All bets lean towards factory. Watch out for corrosion of the aluminum. It will look like bubbling from under the paint. What are they asking?

                          Pick them up and I'm liking them tires are okay but could use new tires. Original say 225/60/16 do y'all think bigger tires would fit kind of want fatter tires in the back
