All nice wheels, but only the last one looks like it might compliment the Mustangs lines and heritage.

The first 2 look like they belong on Esclade's and Navigators and stuff like several have said. When I opened the first two, I immediately though 'bling-bling' and I don't like 'bling-bling'.

You ask for opinions and then you act like a little f'n baby when you get them. Interesting...

IMO, Chrome Saleens or Y2K Cobra rims will look much better on your car than either of those. I know they won't be unique, but you have to be careful putting aftermarket rims on certain cars and Mustangs are part of that group.

out of those 3, the third is the least offensive.. saying that tho none of them are really my cup of tea. those little nuts around the rim bother me. it makes the rim look unfinished imo.

In the end it's your money and if you like them, you should buy them. To he'll with them all if they don't like it. Only you need to be pleased with your purchase.

Many people (some on this board) didn't like the wheels I planned to put on my 90 GT, but I bought them anyway and A LOT of people have said they like them after they were on the car. Way more people like them, than said they'll look like crap.

Some peopl like them and have said so (thanks BTW) and seom don't like them and have said so (I don't really care) and others have said they're ok, but I wouldn't spend my money on them. It's all good.

Please yourself, no elses opinion should really matter.

This is the worst forum in the world to come to for wheel advice.

If you don't choose bullitt, saleen, or cobra rims someone will find a way to trash them.

when I see a mustang with bullitt, saleen, or cobra wheels I see the same old crap.

do yourself a favor and just get what you like.

don't let the retards here make you like what they like.

I don't mind the saleen rims but I think they have kind of a poser aspect to them. just like the cobra stuff. that is why I prefer to just get an aftermarket rim.

If I had to choose between those I would go #3 I think. If I were you I would look around a bit more. I have had both styles on this car. the "ghetto style" and the boyd wheels I have now. everyone here hated both but I like the boyd wheels better myself. they have more of the muscle car look to them and are not the same as every other car has on them. I realy liked the weld prostar xp's I almost go those.

Saw some Farhens on a '05 Mustang at a car show. They drew a lot of attention from everyone. A little pricey though.

I like the fact that you are looking at wheels other than all the standard Mustang wheels. Seems like you see one Stang and everyone has the same wheels. I do agree with what others have said about the first two wheels lookin' like sumpin' off an SUV.

right on...the farhens on that website were like 900 for a set which doesnt seem that bad...but yeah i wanted to check out what some other rims looked like outside of this mustang circle

i dont see how everybody gets the biggest boner on bullitt rims b/c IMO they dont look that good...the only time ive liked them was on some black stang w/ chrome'd out deep dishes but other than that....yeah...i guess im not a true mustang groupie?
