Does anyone have pictures of their 2005/6 Mustang with Ruff Racing 278 Silver rims to post? I can't find a Mustang with these rims on the web. I'd like to buy these rims online and I'm not sure how they will look on the car. Tirerack.com doesn't carry them.

Thank you.

Try here, there is a Silver 05 featured that has them. If the link doesn't work lookup the latest issue and download it

Thank you 2L8IWON. That gives me a much better idea. I also have a silver 05 GT. Those rims are 18", but I think the 19"s will be even better. They would look even nicer in Gun Metal instead of Silver or Chrome. I'm not a big fan of bling, bling Chrome. But that's just me.

Looking for new wheels is crazy. Such a freakin wide choice. Offset this, offset that! This wheel only available in chrome or up to 18" or not in that bolt pattern, etc. Crap! Just show me a geniune "side view head on pic" of what the wheels look like, the right size, the right finish on the car and let me plop them on with the right size front/back tires and drive my arse off!

I started with Deluker's 18" really nice TSW GT-10's (see link below) which he will sell soon with tires (ask him), but I wanted 19". TSW is going bankrupt so GT-10's 19" with mustang bolt pattern can't be had. The most expensive wheels I like were HRE 847R wheels at $5,987 for 4 not including tires.. They come with a little man in a box who polishes them once a week for you. Oh, and if you order them real soon before 5 p.m., you only pay $80 for shipping instead of $120. What a deal!

Then I wanted these

and these the most, second wheel Tension F55 in Champagknee Silver, but they don't come in 19"s.. ! dang

I found another pic of Rod Elish's Silver Mustang with Ruff Racing 278 wheels for others...

Back to searching for more wheels! Dang, my hand hurts.

My babbling continues..

Can't get the 278 in the rear size rims I want, so I think I'm going with the forged CCW 505a. They have to be customed made for $2500 for 4 wheels.

Brushed finish. 505a are originally for Corvette.

Here they are on a GTO, 20"s wheels:
