Wheel Help?

Pliskin · Oct 1, 2006

Alright its time for me to get new wheels. I have the money but cant decide now. Here's a pic of my car and the wheels I've been thinking about getting.

18x10 rear ($154ea) and 18x9 front ($139ea)

or

18x9.5 all around for $169 each

or the actual Shelby wheels from Ford for around $350 each.

Suggestions?

PS: Bigcat you have a PM

Being that the car is red I would go with the Shelby wheel...more of the modern sports car look. The deep dish bullits look sweet on the black car...giving it that tough early model muscle car look...not sure how they would make the red car stand out though??? IMO.

I took off the standard bullits and went with the 18" fan blade wheel...I love those. Good luck with your wheel choice.

Not too sure about black wheels on a red car but might look good with the DD in the back

I have the same exact car. I just ordered these.....19x8.5 in front and 19.10.5 in back

same wheels different car

i dont see it

Haha thats funny I didn't even notice those emblems.

I was thinking black DD bullitts in the back and regular bullitts in the front. So only deep dish in the rears.

I'll resend it Bigcat

Hey does anybody know who makes the wheels on the Vista Blue GT in the BFGoodrich ad. I've searched through literally hundreds of wheels on the internet to no avail. I even have the poster ( picked it up at WFC either this year
or last) and cannot make out the name on the center cap. It appears to be 7 or 8 letters long something like Hosggead. I'd love to have a set for my '06 if they aren't $10G apiece.

I like the bullets over the Shelby wheels.

Like you, we have not found any wheels we like that arn't less then 1K ea !!

D-06, couple questions for you

Hey D-06, where did you buy those wheels from? If you don't mind me asking, how much did they run? Do you know the weights on them and if they have the proper backspacing? Also are they available in black? I'm looking to get some rims around the spring time and those look awesome. Do you have any pictures of them on an 05+ mustang?

Thanks, I've been searching/asking around for months and your the first person to give me more than a shrug and/or an I dunno. I appreciate it.

Hello again 'stang fans, after a bit of googling, then giggling, and finally gasping.
I have arrived at the decision that I am not the craziest person on this little blue-green marble but one of the few sane ones. The wheels to which I inquired about earlier are indeed bonSpeed Delta's ( googling ).I found several sweet rides wearing these (giggling). So I then proceeded to price a set (gasping).
These lovely horseshoes run about a Bengie an inch ( can you say plasma TV ).
So for a modest set of 18's you're talking about $7200 w/o the hides ( again with the gasping, what is it with you ).

Still more then I would pay

But $465 for an 18x10 is not nearly the price you seemed to have found.

Maybe I'm looking at a different wheel?

You can only buy CCW wheels direct from CCW. ccwheel.com is the site.

CCW's are custom built for each application at the time of order so the backspacing is custom and has a perfect fit. They are not available in any color other than polished aluminum that I know of.

The wheels were around $3,800 with tires. (BFG KDW 2s)

I have some pics but I am TDY in Mountain Hamoe AFB in Idaho and dont have them with me.

I have had 4 sets of CCWs so far so if you wan5t any more info just let me know.

Whoah. I have to admit I only checked a couple of sites, but made sure pricing was per wheel and not by set of 2 or 4 as your info seems to suggest.

So thanks I feel kinda stupid now, but am considering 19's now, so for once I'm happy to be a moron.

$465 for the Bonspeed wheel is not really that bad considering...

like i said, not too bad considering...i was looking into some 18x9 and 18x10 Wheel Vintiques Billet Magnum 500's for my wife's car, and they were like $600+ a wheel. so these aren't that far off the chart really...most people on a budget would go with something else, but if you want something completely different, it will always cost more...look at the Foose wheels, they are nice, but now they are fairly priced and you can get wheels and tires for under $2K from some websites, so go for it...if you like the BonSpeed wheels, get 'em, i bet not too many will have them...

I found another set I like Niche Rhines, much better price. Only $250 more shipped w/ BFG KDW's mounted.
