The 07-08 Fanblades look much better than the ones without the painted grey stripe IMO. Heck both fanblades look way better than my 17 inch machined wheels. Im getting ready to purchase a set of GT500 takeoffs to replace these hideous wheels of mine.

The GT500 rims look awesome, but I guess I'm pretty smitten with roush.

Sorry...I'm just really bored and started thinking about wheels.

When I bought my 07 GT new the Ford dealer had two identical GT's on the lot with the only difference being the wheels. One had bullets and one had blades and I went with the blades. I really like the look of the blades and am quite happy with my decision.

I love the fan blades, I really want to trade my flawless 17 in bullits for some. I think they're both worth about the same. It really makes the car look more modern.

I had the Fanblades. Never really liked them though. They were a bit too narrow and didn't fill out the fenders at all. I also prefer the DD look. I still have mine with practically new tires on them that I will put back on when I trade my car in for a 2011.

My Black 07 GT had them and I thought they looked great. My 09 came with the polished aluminum and I think they look good on silver cars. One nice thing about Mustangs is the stock wheels are awesome. No need to waste money on aftermarket wheels.

Of course this is completely my personal opinion, but I think the fan blades are the best looking factory wheels on a Mustang. This was one search criteria I would not budge on, my car must have these wheels or I would not purchase it, (maybe with the exception of such a stupid good deal, I would be foolish not to take advantage of).
