car looks great.

dont get bullitt wheels, they are SO common and their are much better looking wheels out there.

well my dream wheels would be true forged chicanes or ccw classics but money wise they are way out of my league, thanks for the compliment man

I completely agree. I love the 5 spoke wheels that you have on the car. If you slam the car, they look great. The only aftermarket wheels I would go with are something unique and original.

hey winters what is your opinion on Rear spacers because my biggest gripe is the rear wheels looking sunken I want to lower it but I want the rear to look nice and wide, so basically my question is would they be a good idea ? and I'm sure I'm gonna need longer studs so are the center caps going to clear the studs ?

Having lived up in that area and I know how bad the pot holes get during/after winter. If you're gonna lower it and get new wheels/tires make sure you don't go toooo low profile on the tires or you'll be dealing with bent rims. If you're gonna keep the "stock" look to the wheels American Muscle has Cobra and Saleen staggered wheels for a reasonable price in 17" & 18" sizes. On my 99 GT, I got 17x9 up front and 17x10.5 in back with fat tires, no spacer required, it fills out the wheel wells nicely. Just a woman's humble opinion

I like spacers, as long as you don't go to big with them. I had to use them on my drag wheels on my 98 and 97GT. I ran longer studs in the front. Make sure you go with hub centric spacers and not the cheapos from the parts store.
