anyone running these wheels?

[buddyf87]

well, i've been putting off getting new tires until i can decide which wheels i want. the other day one of my dsm friends let me take his dr's for a spin (just 245 nittos). bad mistake. almost as bad as driving the evo 8 when i was 16 and getting addicted to horsepower lol. anyways, i def want 10.5 in back with 315 radials. i'd been dead set on black deep dish bullits, but it seems like everyone and their brother has bullitts, so now im reconsidering. for anyone whos still reading by this point, does anybody have pics or opinions of these wheels on a red stang? im kind of wary of 10.5's not deep dish, i just wanted to see what they look like, maybe a photoshop if anybody feels like it. theyre 17's btw

No everyone and their brother has cobra r's.

 

[buddyf87]

actually i only know of one stang around here (town of 100k) that has them, and ive never seen one with black ones

those wheels define UGLY... chrome cobra r's look good if you really want them... i think everyone and there brothers running a dd bullitt

Just going by what I see a lot of. I guess there's a lot of everything. I personally like regular 93 cobra rims. I've seen black cobra r's on black notches though and I likey.

Everybody and their brother has all of these types of wheels....look how many stangers are out there....

everybody sticks to bullitt's, cobra R's, 03 Cobra wheels, Saleen's, etc....basically Mustang specific wheels

the trick is to find a nice set of wheels that aren't the usual (i.e American Racing Rebels are very sexy, and not every mustang has'em) and make'em work for your car...I'm sure there's a million choices out there, you just won't get'em for as cheap.

that said, color can define rarity, so black Cobra R's aren't the regular run of the mill wheel. Try'em out, and if you don't like'em, sell'em on ebay for the same price you bought'em for, and then try something else.

My obvious choice would be to go for something different, however...

To me a black wheel really needs the polished lip. But that's just my opinion. It's not my car we are talking about.

I must agree.

Not everyone is running 94 style Saleens b/c I can't find them anywhere!

haha, i meant the newer style saleen wheels, i'd love to find a set of reasonably priced 94 style saleen wheels....and taillight bezels....somebody's gotta start making these things again

Make the centers silver and you are looking at the next set of wheels that my car will have. It'll be down the road a bit, as I have a TON of other things to do to the car, but I love those Drift R's.

If I had money overflowing from my wallet with a second job as a man-whoar, I'd get a set of BBS wheels, something similar to these:

But I'm not one yet, so I settled for the more affordable FR500's. I've only ever come accross 2 other sn95's with those in anthrocite.

 

[buddyf87]

those bbs wheels are teh secks. and 94turbo50, those drift r's are amazing, but sadly i cant afford the rubbers for 20's, much less the whole package. 1tallmf, do you have any pics of your fr500's? i havent ever seen any in 17's

 

[1TallMF]

Gladly

275/40 front, 315/35 rear, 2" drop, and no rubbing

I figured pic-whoar first, then eventually man-whoar. Baby steps...

 

[buddyf87]

those look really good in 17's, im gonna have to go check on prices. kind of on a budget, but im def gonna check into those

 

[xr8d302]

Those wheels look better in person, and when the car is moving, it's even better....trust me, it's well worth the price!

Get what you like, but those are some great pics above.

Everyone seems to have Bullits, but I never see anyone with DD wheels at all, let alone 315s. Some around here have 285s on 18s, but that's about it. Most are 275s or smaller.

For about $1K, you can score a set of 17x9 and 17x10.5 with 275s and 315s in several styles. I personally like the FR500s and the polished Bullit wheels in deep dish 17s, cause they look great to me and I think they'll look great on my dark green stang.
