You're right, style or quicker times, to each his/her own. Are planning on long tubes, I think they rub the ground on some lowered vehicles.

Maybe tire longevity, aren't salene's 18', less rubber, heavier the wheel, drive quality suffers. Just sayin' those stocks are probaly the best looking Ford has come with, Just my opinion. Whatever, his car, his dime. Your stocks are nicer than any chrome outthere.

+1 for the 5-spoke GT rim club

Im thinking of accenting mine by painting the spoke indentations black, like this....

if you wast so far away i would trade you for the ones without the black on them

Paint the center caps also, or it just looks like someone took a mgic marker to your wheels. An alternative is have a body shop just paint the raised parts of the face of the wheel black, leaving the flutes, center cap, and inside of the wheel silver.

I would not get rid of those wheels. Car looks great!

from what i have gathered them wheels are only available on the 1999 35th Anniv. Special Edition mustangs i was going to take them off thinking they were only decals or type of some sort but those are on there very good i would rather have the same wheels with no black marking myself here is a examlple from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...283QQitemZ180496339587QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks ......in the ad it says special edition wheels 1999 Ford Mustang GT, 35th Anniversary Special Edition. 1 of approx. 1550 made in Performance Red (special edition only option). Charcoal and silver leather interior. 4.6L V8, 5 spd. 127K miles. Excellent condition inside and out. Runs and drives great. PS, PB, PW, AC, Power drivers seat. Mach 460 sound system. Bone stock (except new CD player). Recent maintenance: new intake (Ford part) and gaskets, new brakes (at 100K miles), plugs, oil / filter, right tie rod end. This special edition vehicle has a lot of options a standard GT does not including: Performance Red paint, charcoal / silver leather interior, billet shifter knob, silver dash panel and door panels, black stripe on the hood, black "honeycomb" panel on trunk lid, 17 in. special edition wheels, hood scoop, side scoop, unique rear spoiler, unique side ground effects. Paint does have some small scratches here and there (the car is 11 years old), but they are minor. The only issue that I've had with the car is that every now and then, the odometer will disappear then reappear (Ford issue - but no recall was ordered), but the mileage is 100% accurate. Never wrecked, never smoked in. Adult driven. Clear title in hand. Sold as is. Buyer to arrange for pickup or shipping. Car is listed locally, so seller reserves the right to end the auction early if the car sells. hope this helps

Ok so back to the original question somewhat.. In my '02 GT I would LOVE to lower it but I already drag my long tube bbk's on any unlevel road or speed bumps. I have seen that the bbk's hang low but I was also thinking it could be because I have the stock 17x8 wheels. Obviously also I have a completely stock suspension but I want to lower it. Is there a rhyme or reason why my headers hang so low or am I stuck engaged in 4x4? Any help would be awesome with this because it sucks rding high.

Yeah I am pretty sure Spring editions had the black accents. Or was it 35th annis? I can't remember now. But yeah I think those wheels look pretty good. I am so sick of my bullitts. I just hate how the gray color of my wheels clashes with the MG paint.
