Which Wheels To Get?

Danman765432 · Nov 24, 2006

I know some of you guys dont like black wheels but I think those are what I am going to get...The first 2 are 17x9 in the front and 17x10 in the back...the last one is 17x9 all around...

Just wondering what tire can fit on the 17x10 without causing rubbing?

B

Black Saleens aren't worth it without a polished lip, and the Faux 2 piece motorsport wheels aren't doin' it for me.

Go with something you can live with a few years from now.

If you want to stay with Ford wheels, what about FR500s in black, or maybe anthrecite.

stprorolla49 · Nov 24, 2006

outta those choices, i say the black dished bullitts...otherwise, ill agree with strokerPSU and say get the dished FR500's...as for tires, i run 315/3517 nitto drags on 10.5" wide wheels, and i get no rubbing...you can definately fit them too

i say the first ones. they are different and you don't see many people with them. post up a pic of your car too so we can better picture the whole package.

I obviously like the Bullitts, which is why I got them.

FYI, the lip is not chrome on them. It is polished aluminum.

bimmertech · Nov 24, 2006

i really like my steeda ultra lites

the bullit style is the only one of the 3 that i remotely like.

i think the first ones look like total ass--not to mention i see them on alot of cars around here. the third one will not look good on a black car without a polished lip.

Y2K cobra r's would look good on your car.

First one in DD. I have those and they are awesome. (Polished aluminum not chrome BTW)

Either that or some black DD FR500's.

Bullits are nice, but they are everywhere.

And all black would be too much IMO.

Diablo stang has a black GT with the same wheels as me (first ones). Maybe he could post some pics up.

As for tires, I have 315/35/ZR17 on the back, and 255/40 on the front. No rubbing at all.

And i thought the back wheels were 10.5?

I have NEVER seen another mustang with the same wheels as me (first) and ive only seen like 4 counting me on the internet.

You dont like the screws? Its just a turnoff for somepeople but I love them. The only thing is that everyonce in a while, I have to clean the with a q-tip there.

KEEP THE TRI-BARS!
Alright I'm kidding get the bullits with the lip.
They will look sick and you wont have any regrets.
FYI, Polished aluminum is a major PITA so keep that in mind. Meguires Hot Wheels cleaner works wonders-best stuff I've used on my polished cobra r's hands down.
I like the Faleens but then again everyone's got them like the fobra r's I got from AFS.

Do yourself a favor and buy direct, I got mine off of ebay thinking I'd be saving money and all I got was more headaches.

Post some pics when you get 'em

I got mine from eBay and they are holding up great.

Get them from OE Wheels

I think the sellers name is moore1199 or something like that. Im not sure of the numbers, but he is the only place I have EVER seen the wheels I have.

Blackened302 · Nov 24, 2006

i say other: chrome y2k's. definately not C.

diablostang · Nov 24, 2006

Get zee black Cobra R's w/deepdish.

PS: Mine are for sale (cause i'm parting the car, not cause I don't like them)

Oh and you can fit a 315 without rubbing. That's what most people run (incl Green GT and myself )

^ looks sick... I like my chrome cobra r's but id trade for the deep dishes in a hot second... i just got mine because i was able to get rims and tires with less then 2k on them for $420 OH and 315's FTW... Also all black cobra r's just make your tires look dirty esp on a black car... id sy go with the dished ones or look in to chrome

On the contrary. They hide brake dust better than any chrome wheels can. the first spot to look dirty on my whees is always the aluminum lip.

Yeah, if we keep tire dressing on the tires, it looks good. If you never put dressing on your tires, it will look dirty.

i voted other

i use to want to buy black FR500 with the polished lip. but after seeing them on a red stang, and also on a white stang, black rims IMO look better on any other color car than black.

i'm really like the chrome y2k on our body style. i think urban has them on his DFG.
another thing is chrome FR500, they look sick on a black stang.
