    I HATE those wheels in the third v6 mustang pic. I see them everywhere and I hate them so much. The triangle 6 spokes.

    What about Marauder wheels? I have seen some on eBay for decent prices.

      The wheels thing is very much a personal decision (provided they fit and won't change the handling characteristics). More important when selling the car than when you're owning and enjoying your Panther!

        1. HPP's
        2. old style Americans or Cragars
        3. 2001-2002 Crown Vic Sport fanblades
        4. Magnum 500's
        Not a single one of those would fit on a 2006. They have a high offset. Those are all low offset wheels.

          I agree with you on the v6 wheels. I don't know why they ever came with those ugly things.
          The Marauder wheels would be awesome, but I cant find any local and the ones on ebay are around 275 per rim. I'd love to have them though.

          Yeah, but I'm limited by the car on what I can have, mainly by the offset which I think is around +35 to +50. A lot of the ones I've looked at and liked are under +30, or don't even come in 17s. I'm after cheap and aesthetically pleasing to me. The amazon ones were both, but I found some that are cheaper, and that I like more at discount tire right now.

            I think they make Magnum 500's and American's to fit 03+ Panthers now?
            01-02 fanblades wouldn't fit, I wasn't thinking when I suggested that. But 03+ would.
            And HPP's wouldn't either, same thinking as with the 01-02 fanblades.
            Those American looking late model Mustang wheels would.

              If you have a good profile shot of your car and a straight on shot of the wheels, it would be really easy to do a quick Photoshop test fit to see what they would look like.

                Hmm... Anyone know if 17x9 rims will work on the +03's? Or will I need spacers or they won't work at all? I'd like some 255/50-17's on it. Eventually wider if I try making more power with it.
                Looks like the ones I like are +33 offset, if that helps.
