Does anyone know what the "special edition" pony wheels off the 99-00 Mustang GT's are and look like???

Some early 99/00 GT cars got the 16" Pony wheels (also known as V6 wheels), while most got the 17" known as "Starfish" wheels.
Sounds like somone is slapping "Special Edition" on used wheels they are trying to sell.

My wheels have been called "Special Edition"... I love them but i dont know about the name i was told. lol. I didn't buy them for that reason though.

Are mine the "Starfish Wheels?"

seeing as the only other GT wheels were bullits id bet on yes

They Look Like Starfish To Me!

Yes, those are "Star" or "Starfish" style.

Some base GTs came with the "tribar" or "Pony" style that most think of a V6 wheels in 99-00. (NOte those are far different than the 4 lug 5 spoked "Pony" wheels the fox cars had. Most GTs got the 17" like posted. When the Bullitt came out, the following year GT started getting those, and the "Star" or "Starfish" 17" became the base model wheel or a V6 upgrade from the dealer.

Is is true they are the lightest OE Mustang Wheel to date? J/W

Yes, the "Starfish" are some of the lightest stock OE 17's @ 17-19lb per wheel.

Also, there WERE some "special edition" "Starfish" that came on the "Spring Edition" 99-00 cars that were "machined" to a polished look.

It's a crappy picture, but here's an example...



It's hard to tell in this pic, but the "Spring Specials" also got special matte-black hood stripes.
