What do you guys think?

I like it. I think the spokes look better than the more rounded American Racing spokes you typically see. It's got just enough "edge" on it, to make it different.
I like it much better than the Bullitt wheels
Matt@DTD,
We need a few more specifics on that wheel. Give us some detail like size & width player... ! ;-)

Looks awesome!!!
18x8? No stang owner will buy those!
I like the wheel, but I agree, 18x8 is not wide enough!
Bump, see OP for updated information.
Link doesn't work for me:shrug:

Sorry about that, try it now.

17x7 wheels by any chance?
They're still only 8" wide in the 18"?
The MB Motoring Old School only has molds for the sizes listed on our website. The widest width currently available in the 18" size is 8" and the narrowest width offered in the !7" size is 8" There maybe others sizes offered in the future depending on the success of this wheel.

classic mustangs (i.e. 65-66) cant fit a 17x8 wheel up front without rolling fenders. a 17x7 works perfectly
Our records indicate that the 65 and 66 Mustang (V8 Coupe, Convertible, & Fastback) can take up to an 8" wide wheel in the front with the offset range of -9mm to 0mm.
17x8 with a 4.72 backspace might fit, but the scrub radius is all messed up and puts the wheel 1 inch outboard, otherwise it hits the control arm. The ideal fit for the front on these early cars is a7x7 with the 4.72 backspace. the 17x8 can work, but is FAR from ideal. maybe you can forward this information to MG?
Interesting. I'll forward this to our fitment department and see what they say :thumbsup:
Here's what I found out.
Our fitment department physically test fitted a '66 model with a 16x8, zero mm offset wrapped in 225/55-16s. On this vehicle, with 16" diameter, you could not go into positive offset territory at all on the front, and yet, on the back, a +15 was necessary with the 255/50-16 tires in order to not rub the fender lip. Our fitment depart does understand and agrees with you mrmustangman357, a 7 wide would be ideal on those cars ('64.5-'66), but on the 67+, the 8 on the front is just fine.

k cool, i just wanted to clarify that the 8" wide rim is a fit of a fit on the 65-66 cars. +1 on the quick response and fitment.
