Hi everyone
Just joined the site, I,m haveing a hard time picking a style of chrome rims for our 35th anniversary rag top,this one is silver and we want to get some nice chrome rims for it ,but what would look good is a whole new problem,there is so much to pick from and it,s hard to tell what they wil look like when they are on.
Does anyone know of a site that people can submit there pictures so we can see what there car looks like with there choice of rims, or does anyone have a better answer.
Thanks everone mattly

I got chrome and like it very much but looking back i kinda wish i got something different. Id suggest Black FR500's on a silver car it looks sinister. Also black bullits w/ a polished lip in the back also looks very nice. As far as chrome goes I like the bullit stle best because ur going bling but w/ torque thrust style ur still keeping the muscle-ish part

I must say that chrome saleens look good on silver. myself though, I would get either black Fr500s or black bullitts. Check out the top of the talk thread. there is a pic link. Might give you some ideas.

I've always been a big fan of silver & black. I would deffinetley get the black wheels, if you are going to do that theme. However, if you are set on chrome, my buddy has chrome cobra-r's on his silver stang, and they look good. I would decide which color to go with if I were you, then choose style later.

Mattly, don't go black bullitts, they are ugly (JK!!! I've got a set of 18x9s and 18x10s on couch waiting for new shoes)

I have a set of chrome Cobra R (I think...) replicas on my car right now. I love the way they look on white/silver cars, but since my top and interior are both black, I am going with black wheels to set the car off. Therefore, I am getting rid of the wheels prettttttty soon...*wink wink* Right now I have 255s on the front and 275s on the back. Going 265 (maybe 255) up front and 295 out back.

Just my 2¢.

P.S. You should go with some 18x9 (18" diameter, 9" wheel depth) Chrome Cobra R replicas with some 255s up front and 275s out back

There is a sticky that has TONS of pictures of different stangs...it's in the talk section at the top.

I personally like the saleen rims or FR500's. Just my opinion...

IMHO 17" wheels are too small for Mustang GTs and 19" wheels are too big...

I guess it just looks like there's too much tire with 17" wheels.

18" FTW!!

Yeah....18" wheels are a must. If I was ever to get diff. rims i'd go w/ DD fr500's, but I still haven't seen a person yet(in person) w/ my wheels. Kenny Brown y2k Cobra's.....gunmetal powdercoat ftw!!!
