Need help with a decision on rims...

zZsKyZz · Dec 4, 2005

I found a few rims that I like.. They're all 17x9 and fit my mustang. I need an opinion on which one to get.. Here's a few pics of my car:

And here's the rims I have in mind:

I can get this rims decently cheap [Under 130.00 a piece].. If you guys have any other suggestions that would look good on my car that would be in my price range [hoping for under 150 a piece].. I originally liked the deep dish bullits with 17x10.5 out back but they seem to have stopped making them

Any suggestions/comments..Thanks guys.

i saw the 17x10.5's on mustang tuning AND on ebay. nothing beats a 10.5" wide out back, imho.

i'd go w/ #3 (drifters, arn't they called?)

Out of those 4 ... the Cobra's look the best to me. But they are WAY too common .... so I wouldn't put them on my car. If I had to choose .... then #3 it is. The only problem is that I think they're a little "too blocky" for our body style. Is that the ONLY rims you are interested in?

Bottom line, as always, do what YOU want for your car.

I have no clue what they're called.. I just wanted to know how you ppl feel about rims that arn't really normal mustang rims.

Blackened302 · Dec 4, 2005

those first two look like 03 cobra replicas.

wo wo wo, back the truck up!!!! who makes that wheel? styling wise, it's ok. it has alignment head holes around the hub. that is the first stang wheel i've seen with those. i gotta know, i hate doing jacking compenstion aligments.

Yeah, out of those 4 I would choose either the Cobra's or the one above the Cobra's. Of course the Cobra's are waaaay too common so I wouldn't get them personally, but they do look good on just about any car.

look around the lug holes and you will notice 5 smaller holes. there is a special adapter for alignment heads that slides into those holes and centers itself on the hub.

if you have those adaptors you don't have to jack up the car to calibrate the alignment heads. this is good cuz when you jack up the car an let it back down it is very hard for the suspension to settle right. i have a hard time with my car due to the phb, urethane bushings etc... if the suspension does not settle right, your specs could be off.

BMW, Mercedes, Porshe all use wheels that have those extra holes in them for that very reason i just stated.

basically it allows you to do a very accurate, quick alignment. i personally would buy those wheels for that feature alone, screw what they look like.

so who makes 'em?

ah, i see what you mean now. that's pretty hardcore. might wanna ask the thread starter about who makes them.

zZsKyZz · Dec 4, 2005

Yes, primax makes them.. And I just searched ebay and found the rims I want.. I thought they stopped making them but obviously they're still floating around.. I love the lip on the rear wheels

Blackened302 · Dec 4, 2005

91LX_5L · Dec 4, 2005

out of those posted I would go with #3. Yet none of them really tickle my fancy lol, but at least theren not so common like the cobra Rs I give you credit for that.
