Hello,
I just moved across the country about a month ago, and I now live in Hermosa Beach, near Los Angeles.
Does anyone know of any good mustang shops in the Los Angeles area?
I've done some searches, which mention Chicane in Torrance, and XMP in Aliso Veijo. Are there any other good ones? What is your opinion of these shops?
Also, I'd like to get 17"x10.5" rims in the back, and 17"x9" rims in the front, for my stang. I think what I'd like is those solid rims, the ones with no holes or gaps or spokes or anything, just a smooth, featureless metal disk. Is this okay, or will the brakes get too hot if there are no holes or openings in the rims? Here's a web page with a photo of what I'm thinking about:

Are there any good rim and tire places that I could trust to install the rims correctly on my stang?
Should I buy the rims from a Mustang shop, and let the Mustang shop install them?
Will any 17"x10.5" rims with 5 lug holes fit a Mustang GT, or will only certain brands or models fit?
Actually, I wonder if they even make that style of rim in 17"x10.5". If not, I may think about getting the chrome Bullitt style instead.
