It would be the one I buy. Has all the best Mark 8 features and can be had pretty cheaply. If i come across a cheap clean one, i may buy it. It's like a big ass classy Mustang.
With the availability of them, why not? If you're like me and you love the mesh style rims, they could well be a super cheap option that'll look just as good as the ARE's once painted. If i could get'em in 17'' i'd probably be doing the same.
The Mark VII wheels were originally made by BBS for Ford. They're a different offset than the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis wheels which actually sit farther out.
