Need Some Help Guys. Black Rims/red Dish/lip

built240 · Jul 7, 2012

Hi guys I'm new here. I have a 2010 mustang premium convert. Its red/black and I want to upgrade the wheels. I dont really mind if they are heavier or effect performance as Im only going for appearance. The rim stock are 17" so first off im wondering how big I can go without running into issues. The gap between the wall and the wheels on mustangs has always been unappealing to me so I'd think a 20" would probably look best. Dont want to lower it at all. Anyway I really am looking for a nice pair of shiny black wheels with a red lip. Most i've seen just have the outer lip red, I want the dish red as well. Here is a perfect example of what im looking for. Would this be a good fit? If anyone has any link's for something similar please post up. Thank you

Something like these???

no offense, but please do not put those ricer wheels on your Mustang. my coworker has those exact wheels on his honda civic, except they are the XXR version but look identical. they work on a ricer, not a mustang!!!

as for size, not matter what size you run, unless you run taller tires than stock, there will be the same fender well gap. if you are not lowering the car, anything bigger than 18's will look "donk" on the car and that's just not for me. if it's your thing, go for it.

20's and unlowered with those color wheels will look horrible.

Trade your car in for a cutlass

Hmmmm ok guys maybe i'll just stick with 18's with the same size tire specs. Any good idea's for black/red?

Before I help you any more I want you to find me 3 pictures of cars with black wheels and red hoops that actually look good. I don't think you're going to be able to for a reason. It doesn't look good.

What do you think about these?

Its odd b/c its says they 18x8 and 18x9 but I though the car stock was 17x7 so shouldnt they be 18x7?

So you think this looks good?

Lemme see... black and red... black and red....

I must like the rice, because they both look good....

Noobz347 · Jul 10, 2012

I never did like anodized alloy... not even when it was still the 80's.

built240 · Jul 10, 2012

Im starting to think I may just go with 18's and run some eibachs. Im also thinking I may be best off powdercoating to match the color exactly.

that Saleen looks like...CRAP!!!!!! he should have bought a Supra and put a huge wing on the back of it and some graphics down the side. no offense, but the black and red wheels look like CRAP on these cars. even the Laguna Seca...just my 2 cents.

StreetsideStig · Jul 12, 2012

Perhaps red wheels aren't what we're looking for. Something a bit more subtle?

gride1999 · Jul 13, 2012

It's your mustang. Do what you think looks best.

I'd have to disagree on your opinion, that saleen looks sick.

BackInBlack · Jul 13, 2012

Need to see different angles of that Saleen. its something Id never do. Im still all about the classic muscle look. If anyhting I want the bullit deepdish anthracite 18" wheels 18x10 in the back 18x9 in the front, slightly lowered to cover a tid bit of the wheel gap. but not too much. If I were to put any colors on the wheels it would be black spokes aluminum type finish on the lip.

not my car but these are clean
