Default Can you help me with this

I am looking for some winter wheels, found these on my local Craigslist. The seller thinks these are 16" OEM for 2005 Mustang.

Is there anybody who can visually identify from the picture if these are OEM steel wheels. I assume that if they are then they used a wheel cover.



Thanks for any help

Thems them.
16" aluminum stockers would look better IMHO.

Gross. You know you can get take-off bullits for like $100 each from eBay or newtakeoff.com, right?

Steel rims look absolutely disgusting, almost an insult to the appearance of our good looking cars.

Yes they are OEM wheels from the rare "standard v6" trim (as opposed to the deluxe and premium) take a look at the upper left wheel....
