2001 Laser Red Wheel Dilema

[04DarkShadowGT]

I just got the car and it has probably one of the ugliest wheels Ford ever made on it. I am looking to change but I kinda want something different than the normal "mustang" wheels. I kinda have narrowed it down to the following

The SSR are probably without question the best quality wheel but I am not sure they fit a mustang look. I think I like the Ruff Racing 278 the best but I am questioning the quality since they are an ebay wheel. If someone could do a photo shop that would be awesome.

Here is my car

TSW Thruxon - Anthricite 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 - $800

Kazera KZA - Silver 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 - $670

SSR GT7 - Anthricite 18 X 9.5 - $800 (tire rack closeout regular 450 each)

Ruff Racing 278 - Chrome 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 - $1000 shipped

Ruff Racing 278 - Hyperblack 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 - $750 shipped

Did you buy my old GT????

 

[04DarkShadowGT]

Yeah I did. The car is super clean man. The only interior mark I can find is a small crack on the bottom of the dash by the passengers feet. I love it thus far except its not spring yet.

I paid 6K and my 98 GT for it. Unfortunaltly for the car its life of being stock wont last for too much longer

Already have the t-trim I bought for the 98 as well as some MM subframes ready to go on.

I hear Killy's car is allergic to anything not Motorcraft.

I would say the Kazera KZAs are the nicest of the ones you posted

The only thing making me want the 278 in chrome is this picture. Its freakin beautiful.

Ive been searching for pics of cars with the other wheels but havent come up with much on a mustang.

those chrome one being the design they are will give a crazy overdose of bling to your car, being as tho it doesnt have a body kit and aftermarket wing, id at least go w/ the hyper or the KZA's

 

[Pennywise2]

The Kazera KZA wheels are by far the nicest wheels
you have posted get those.
Beautiful vert you got their too..

We went a different way with our '00. Basically a Bullit style 17 only a gloss black and doing a bit of black trim on the car. Still tinkering on where else to bring in black without being too different.

Of those you posted, I think the SSR GT7 would be good. You are right about the stock ones. I hate even seeing them in my garage. Wish someone needed them....

 

[SaleenGT2001]

the only ones i like are the Ruff Racing 278 chrome

i think you need a CT maybe "kilgore jr"?

 

[trailblz]

Ruff Racing Hyperblack looks sweet!!!

I may have to pick up a set for myself.....thanks

Those Kazeras are sharp. Looks like Roush wheels.

In before someone mentions the word 'Casinos'.

 

[Stang|ess]

Yeah I did. The car is super clean man. The only interior mark I can find is a small crack on the bottom of the dash by the passengers feet.

BLASPHEMY! You gonna take that Killy?

I was actually looking at these Ruff wheels

 

[ADRENLN]

i like the hyperblack or the ones posted right before this.

Ruff Racing 278's in Hyper black would look killer. You gonna do brakes as well?

Yeah eventually, the brakes on this thing are so spongy. Its borderline not safe.

Definitely not Kilgore's car then!

 

[04DarkShadowGT]

Definitely not Kilgore's car then!

Yeah it is, I actually meet up with him earlier this week and he took me for a ride in his cobra. Blower whine is sick

He said that was his biggest gripe about the car too. The pads and rotors are fine, but it most likely is the lines or some air in the system.

What about the SSR GT3's?

What about the SSR GT3's?

The SSR GT3 are discontinued and they where way too expensive anyway. The SSR above are on clearance for 199 each but are normally 450 each.
