Cant decide on Wheels

[mustang351]

I have finally got the money to buy some wheels for my 95 mustang and I just cant make my mind up, I have thought about this for a lond time but what kind of wheels would really catch someones eye?

Wheels I like:
Chrome Bullets-2nd choice
FR 500 wheels-1st choice
Silver Cobra Rs-3rd choice

What do you guys think?

 

[wytstang]

Have you given any thought to the Draglight xp's or Pro Stars xp's. Out of your choices I would bet the Bullits.

Yeah I looked at alot of cars with all kinds of different wheels, but you know really wheels look different up in person than in a picture. I thought about the Weld Prostars
I kind of like them because I am a drag racing person and I like the "I am a Bad A$$ look", I like the price on them too

I like the "I am a Bad A$$ look"

someone get beat up a couple of times in high school? J/K

welds do look good, but i love my 98 cobras. its just a decision that person has to make on their own

The majority of stangers by other stang rims that they have become to me boring. I have grown to hate the Cobra R's due to the fact that so many stangs wear them. I do however love the way our sn95s look with the prostars they just make our cars look mean thats just me tho.

I have a set of 17x9(front) and 17x10.5(rear) silver Cobra R's that I have for sale. One of the front rims have some scratches on it but it's not too bad. PM me if you are interested. Here are some cars that have these size rims:

These might be polished but you get the idea:

here are my (very dirty) fr500s with toyo proxes 285/35/18 rear, 265/35/18 front. i love them!

what i like about fr500s is that mine is the only car that i have ever seen with them. i see the cobras and bullits every time i turn around.

black96gtvert, what set-up do you have which gave you the 2" drop?

 

[Killercanary]

The weld XP's look KILLER in 17" I wouldn't ave minded running a set on my car, but I'm VERY happy with my wheels.

this guy, probably has seen every wheel that will bolt to our car's hubs....he took like 48 years to pick out wheels....

sorry it is so dirty, i need to take new pics someday. anyway, i have wheelreplica fr500s, intrax 2" lowering springs, toyo proxes tires (285 rear, 265 front); and what sounds like a flowmaster catback. i don't know what the catback is because it was on the car when i bought it 3 months ago. i have had no clearance issues. plus, it doesn't bottom as much as my 96 did, but that may also be related to the bbk control arms.

Pro stars as you can tell.

 

[Killercanary]

Pro stars look good, but the XP's look so much better, especially in 17" on a street car.

I agree the XP's are awesome and my next set of wheels soon and HRE's or BBK RS will catch someones eye real quick, IMO. I really don't like the FR 500's on my car takes away from the sportiness and makes it look elegant.

 

[Killercanary]

I wanted HRE's, but at $1000/wheel.... they were not an option, I could have 2 sets of my bogarts for that.

 

[94TURBO5 O]

They are the chit but $$$$.

 

[Black95GTS]

HRE 845Rs have always been the wheel I wanted. I'm definately into the 5 star pattern and I also love it when you can see through the wheel and there are massive calibers... the 845s have the thinnest spokes I've ever seen and just look amazing. Even the center cap comes in red which would match red calibers perfectly... damn I gotta get back to work before I start surfin for wheels!

Back on topic, I've always thought FR500s are hot and I've never seen a set in person, so bonus points for originality in my book.

 

[mustang351]

Well I think I have made my mind up. I am going to go with the Weld Prostars but thanks everyone for your help and pictures.

 

[wytstang]

Are you going with the originals or xp's i'm just wondering.
