Steelies are what I have now, and was just thinking of a change.
A Mustang parts house sells them for $650 + $70 for the bullseye caps which sounds like an OK deal, but if they turn to crap in no time on a driver I probably won't bother.
I wouldn't get them for a car that sits outside. I have them on my rr and it is never outside and mine started rusting the first winter in an unheated garage. I am certain to put a heavy spray of WD40 on them whenever the car gets stored for the winter.

I have the Specialty Wheels chrome magnums. They have done pretty good. 3 of the 4 wheels have a little rust on the seam on the outer wheel. Mine are 10+ years old. I drive 2000+ miles a year some in rain. in a carport when not being driven. I always wash the wheels after I drive in the rain though.
It appeared that the wheel vintiques magnums were not as good as the Specialty wheels magnums, but I read somewhere that they were both aquired by Coker tires so they will probably go to the the cheapest process.
