Hmm... Anyone know who makes these wheels?
 
These were in the Swedish racing pics thread that was just put up. I really love these wheels.. Simple yet effective, especially since the car I am looking at is black. If anyone has any hints as to where I could find them, I'd appreciate it (and a rough guess concerning the cost would be great too.) FWIW, I already tried eBay and americanracing.com.. No luck.

They look like centerlines auto drag wheels to me. Here is the link http://centerlinewheels.com/sub_wheel.php?mw_id=34

Close, but not quite. With a bit of searching I actually found a link to the wheels I like through another forum>

The ones that I like are called the Hole Shot Solids. There site says that all of the wheels they carry are not legal for road use though :(. I wonder if cops would actually pull me over for having them on there..

Actually.. Maybe you guys are right. The Hole Shot wheels don't have that raised area around the lugs like the wheels on that Mustang do. And according to Centerlines site their wheels are street legal, which is cool :). The only thing that confuses me is the different sizes available. According to Centerlines site the max size available for that type of wheel is 15". But the wheels on that Mustang look like they are 16-17". Maybe I'm just crazy.. What do you guys think? :p

I grew up around drag racing so I've seen quite a few similar styles. I am pretty sure they are 15's. Oh and be careful buying race rims for the street. some are fine but some can't hold up to the side loading from street driving and also pot holes. Here is wat can happen if they are not designed for the street http://2loose.chevytalk.org/weldrims.html

According to the site they work well on both street and track cars, though I think I saw a warning about using them on vans/trucks. I was just reading something about how the older Centerlines were made for use with bias-ply tires only, due the the way that they were casted. Supposedly the newer method of casting that they use now eliminates the issues caused by radial tires.
