Wheel suggestions

LilBerx · Mar 27, 2013

I am slumped, but I diggin the satin/machined 03 cobras, but may be interested in other wheels, so give me suggestions and pictures please.

Car is a 97, black/black interior
Cobra front emblem,
Going to be lowered eventually too

I honestly want to keep the mudflaps on it too if possible...

I like the bullit wheels, I have a set on my 98, but I've been thinking of changing them, here's some ideas thanks to American Muscle.

I would suggest using the round wheels. They seem to work best.

Ok really... The wheels you have on the car above are one of my favorite OEM wheels ever to come out for a Mustang. My suggestion would be to take them to a wheel repair outfit, have them stripped, polished to a high gloss, and coated.

03 Cobra wheels? Gee, that's never been done before.

I don't understand.

Woops, *what about the anthracite bullet wheels with polished lip*

Jhussey1280 · Mar 27, 2013

Those are what I have, and I do love them, but they are super common around here anyway.

Troofs... and honestly? If I didn't have a big brake upgrade to back up a wide open wheel like that, I wouldn't install the wheel.

What's the width on the OEM wheels you have? Are they 7s or 8s? What I'm thinking about is maybe a set of DRs to set off the wheels that you have. 9 inches would be awesome but I doubt seriously that they're that wide.

My .02 would be any of the following, no particular order:

1). Black chrome 03/04 cobra wheels
2). bullitt style wheels ( I have chrome on my 96 gt convertible, 17x9 & 17x10.5)
3). keep the stock OEM wheels. they were some of the best looking to ever come on a mustang.

Overdone

2). bullitt style wheels ( I have chrome on my 96 gt convertible, 17x9 & 17x10.5)

Also played out

3). keep the stock OEM wheels. they were some of the best looking to ever come on a mustang.

This would be awesome and I have to agree except for the narrow wheel size for the rears.

These?

earleys94gt · Mar 29, 2013

I'd say either refinish the stockers, or some Saleen's(real or replica) http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/Wheels-for-Mustang/Saleen-Wheels_6

Black with polished lip TSW Valencias. Supa hot

Black chrome FR500s

I've got chrome Saleens and I love the stying on this bodystyle. I know overdone but I still prefer them. On new edges Bullitt wheels are overdone, but I think they actually look ok on our body styles. I think the new wheels from LMR would look sweet or as someone said the TSW offerings would look sweet.

Eventually I will be upgrading to forged pieces but for now I am happy with the Saleen look:

sneaky98gt · Apr 3, 2013

Can't go wrong with 18" chrome Saleens.

Kornnut · Apr 7, 2013

Just say no to black wheels.

I thought the car was going to stay stock?
