Needs taller tires. There's not nearly enough sidewall. Those low profile tires just don't look good on such a large American car. I do dig the rims for sure.

I actually like the stock better, the other rims seem to be to skinny in the middle for the mustang, those rims would suit a civic.

They look like typical 5 spoke Mustang wheels. Boring!

Here's some advice though, try putting your pictures on this site:

Personally I am going with Chrome Torq Thrust rims when I purchase my Stang. But, to each their own.

First of I wanna thank you for the cardomain link, I just put some pic's there.
Second, It may look like theyre simillar to the Ford 5 spoke, but theyre not if you pay attention to the new pics I put up,, the only thing they have in common is the 5 spoke, the angle, look and the "color" is completly different (better IMO)
Anyways, I hope you and everyone else will like the newer pic's better , since theyre outdoors and a bit better quality, PLUS you can enlarge!
Thanks again!

Now on CARDOMAIN.COM CLICK TO SEE !!

100% better than stock! I don't think they look "typical" at all. Typical would be the Cobra R's on my 89. But some of us like Typical.

I think your car looks bad-ass. You know what would make it look even better? A supercharger!
