Tell me your thoughts...

Im looking to dress up my car a little and really need to get some wider wheels/tires on the rear, I dont want something that EVERYONE else has and wouldnt mind spending a little extra $$$ to get a decent set of rims.
I have been looking around and these caught my eye,

Tell me how you think they would look, nobody in my area has them.
Im gonna get 18x9's and 18x10's. Ill do a quik search on offsets as I dont know what these cars need, but if anyone knows off-hand and wants to throw that in, it would be awesome!

1. the offset is going to be off on those, especially for the front
2. I usually have a rule that any rim thats comes in a 22/24" i dont consider
3. Your going to see those on SUV's more than anything else - so meh. But not a horrible style.

ok thanks, didn't realize they were an suv rim... One of the things I liked about it was raceline wil make the wheels custom for every order, including the offset... you just give them the specs you want

I really like those wheels. I'm all for getting a set of wheels that no one else has. Wish I was good at photoshop, otherwise I'd put them on a stang to get an idea.

I like those wheels alot. Here is the backspacing info for me. They would fit an S197 better, but it doesn't exactally state what the bolt pattern is.
RL-207810 18x10 Polished 1600 -38mm ~ +42mm 5 or 6 lug 4" thru 7 1/8" 78mm
RL-207870 18x7 Polished 1600 0mm ~ +15mm 5 or 6 lug 4" thru 4 5/8" 78mm
RL-207880 18x8 Polished 1600 -12mm ~ +19mm 5 or 6 lug 4" thru 5 1/4" 78mm
RL-207890 18x9 Polished 1600 -25mm ~ +30mm 5 or 6 lug 4" thru 6 1/8" 78mm

Personally, I don't care much for non-Mustang rims on Mustangs.

 

[NobleHdwe]

They look good. Would like to see them on a car.

 

[xxstaci]

I think they would look great.

They will show a lot of brake - you'll probably want to get a brake kit upgrade in the near future.

Sure, a lot of people on here might have FR500s, but out in the wild, I've seen maybe two Mustangs with them.

thats true, there are alot of cars done up on here but dont see a whole lot on the street. alot of stockers driving around still. i think it will stay that way because its harder to make hp on these cars then it was the fox. you have to invest alot of money that people are not willing to do. sorry off topic.

anyway, there is always BBS!

 

[ErikTheBeast]

+1 on everything usually being stock. Ive got one other sonic blue mustang around here with chrome 18'' 03 cobras other than that nobody has anything done to their stangs cept myself.

I put BBS wheels on my car. I have never run across another stang when them. Not even hardly on the boards either. I got the set that was going for $550 a set on ebay. But they only come in a 17x9 size.
