Seeking advice for wheel choice for new 19,000 mile CV Sport to the family.
Can't find a super clean set of the mustangs Marauder type wheels... which would be my first choice.
Prefer Chrome or PVD, 18 or larger, and happy to stagger the sizes if possible.
Anyone seen anything really cool lately?
Thank you.

pics of said new 19k mile sport
saw these on 1 sport once in the 18" size, but most of them are out of stock (have to call to see how long) Carroll Shelby name so the price goes up, but modern/retro at same time. they also have black and chrome of same, but list as out of stock.

I really like the stock Sport wheels. A set of the Mustang rims that are almost like tha Marauder wheel is a good choice.

What color is the CV?
The Mustang (Marauder look-alike) wheels would be my choice.

Although mine is a vic, I got a set of 19inch Mustang wheels that are a 5 spoke. Looks like a stretched marauder wheel.

I would have to pull one off and look. I believe they are off of a 2014 premium Mustang. Great fitment and tires are actually cheap. Eagle rsa 245/45/19 are around a hundred each.

These look nice on a silver or gray sport.

Thanks man, is yours bagged or lowered? It looks good. I always said if this one wasn't black, I'd hope it was white .

Mine was lowered on springs 2inches but that gave me alot of rubbing in the front so i went back to stock.The picture of how it looked is on crownvic.net under FCP71 name.

pretty certain, bigger in rear wont work like it does for marauders, photo shop tbe gray fan blades onto your car, wider works in rear.

Ok how bout these?
This is hard. One of the things I just realized about the Marauder, that makes the Marauder so perfect... Is that the wheels match the car perfectly.

They will fit , but will stick out more than the factory wheel , you need an 18X8 on a +50MM offset.

I still think that the oem Sport rims look great. If you want some extra shine, have them pvd coated. I don't think anyone has ever done that to a Sport rim.

I have a set of TSW mondellos in 18s Id sell cheap that might as well be new.
18x7.5 front 18x9 rear. 285s on rear are in great shape. 245s on front need replaced.

I like the stock 17 inch too... But been down this road. Stock wheels are too small and too narrow, and after spending good money on rubber, they remain too small and too narrow -- no matter what size you run.
Back to wheels above. Offset difference is 10 millimeters more positive, or .39 of one inch wider to outside. That's just at 3/8 of an inch wider to outside. Do you think they'll fit and look boss?
Wheel experts please speak up!
I love the Mustang Marauder wheels and above wheels are a solid $500 less with shipping all in. And many stated not to tend toward a Marauder clone (this one s my natural tendency as I love the MMl look).
These are close, kind of tough looking, and chrome which I want on the Matedor Red.

How about something different than spokes. I've always liked slot mags. Here's a pic on a large car. My dad had a set on his '65 Sunbeam Tiger and I always thought they looked cool.:)
