Default 2008 Wheels on a 2002 Mustang? How do they look?

I just bought a 2006 Mustang and want to change the wheels. The tires on the Mustang are New and I would like to keep them, so I need a 16" Wheel.
I found a great deal on a set of 2008 Musting V6 Split Wheel factory wheels. Have any of you guys seen this setup and how do you think they would look?
Any photos of 99-04 Mustangs with these wheels on them? Any other wheel suggestions? Thanks

from what i understand the newer 05+ mustangs use a different offset wheel so you need a spacer to make them work and the spacers run a few hundred for a set of 2

I vote for Chrome Saleen Type S. 16 inch Chrome Cobra R, if you want to stay the same size.

Yes, they'll cost a few bucks more..... but you would certainly have more WOW factor!
Great deals are good, buy them and re sell them and put the money toward WOW.

The tire size is wrong, the offset is wrong and those are the ugliest S197 wheels ever.

There is a reason why those are so cheap.

Yes, like he said- They will not fit. Your best bet is American Muscle 17", 18", or 20". For safety and performance you should consider 17" or 18". There are Shelby style wheels there that you would probably like because they're similar to that picture. There are photo examples of each style rim on your 99-04 style Mustang so you can see what they look like. Latemodelrestoration.com, and some others carry nice wheels and tires too.
