I have the money burning a hole in my pocket for new wheels and tires, but can't decide what i want??

I think i've changed my mind 10 times already.

I've gone from chrome Saleens, to black bullitts to 17" deep dish normal bullitts to 18" FR500's to '03 Chrome Cobra R's.

What would you run? Anyone have pics of silver GT's with different wheels on them??




Reason i'm changing the wheels is because i NEED new tires badly and i want to put the stock '03 bullitts on my Fox, so i'l killing 2 birds with 1 stone by buying new wheels for my '03

Lower it + black/gunmetal rims and blackened headlights+ tinted windows = profit

split spoke wheels or multispoke wheels look awsome on silver.

Same question...

I have a black 2000 GT and i'm looking at wheels, as well as new tires. I was looking at the kumho ecstas. Any thoughts on wheels or tires?
Also, i'm on kind of a limited budget...

I say chrome or some bullitt 18x10 deep dishes that are black.

I am also diggin the 18" roush wheels

And you cant go wrong with Chrome Saleens I got them and love em

Choosing wheels is the hardest decision I had to make but im happy with my choice.

I think i'm sold on 18x9/10 FR500's in black. I'd just like a pic on silver to see what it looks like.


Tint is coming soon, but if i lower the car i will be yanking off the spoiler too and might consider the black honeycomb insert like on the 35th anniversary cars

my buddy back at home had satin Saleens and DD bullitts on his silver '03 GT. Has a Saleen body kit, but kinda gives you an idea

Looks good.

I like the DD bullitts, and i would consider them if i didn't have bullitts already. I just don't want to spend $1000+ on a setup that looks similar to what is on there now if you know what i mean

I had black bullits on my silver 98 GT and i loved them. You can't go wrong with black wheels on a silver AND tinted mustang. FR500's are sick too.

Any pics at all?



Lol, i'm just waiting to see a couple shots of black fr500's on silver before ordering.


What's a good tire size to run? 275/35/18 front and 295/30/18 rear??

I think those are anthracite on the roush.


I guess the lack of black means i'll be somewhat original

Gonna sleep on it a few days


I'm gonna need to lower the car too to make it look good and toss some 13" brakes in the front. When all is said and done this will be a $2K spending spree.

Maybe i should save the cash and buy an 03-04 Cobra. I got to drive one with 465rwHP this weekend and it was unbeleivable.

Please ask me how much my supercharger cost

Personally I'm partial to the 03 Cobra satin finish ones.
