BTW, I don't know if you guys realize this, but any wheel for a Stang since 94 will fit the 05.

Yes, the bolt pattern is the same but the wheel offset is different.

I was just stunned when the auto show titanium silver W/silver stripes and 18" wheels GT was shown.I had to get that car.Now I find out the color is not available,the stripes are not available and the 18" wheels are not available(yet).Geez Ford,talk about getting someones hopes up.Guess I will have to wait till '06. :notnice:


I consider that a personal attack-ban him please.
You should know that any critique of the mustang will get you a response similar to this (by some members):

"If you dont like it, build your own car"

Then again, their are alot of ford salesmen on this board... So I am not suprised. [/b][/quote]
Yup, I don't try to help Germany's economy. I'm one of those "pro American" jerks.

True, but will the less than 1/2" difference in offset make much difference regarding handling?

not really, unless they wont clear the brakes. Most newer cars wont fit a ball point pen between the calliper and the wheel spokes.

Yeah, I believe the older wheels sit closer to the center of the car (therefore close to the calipers) so that could definitely be an issue. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, or maybe you could run that question by Ford. :scratch:

Sorry, but I couldnt afford a decent american car until now. Thats why my car is about 30 years old... Not for long though. The mustang is in my future (hopefully a vert) within the next couple years (hopefully by 2005).

But anyway...

My problem is the group of people that dont want any criticism of Ford at all, that insult the poster for any critique or suggestion. Its that type of thinking that helped American car companies get lazy, and lose marketshare in the first place.

PS: If your going to get on peoples cases about buying American, tell me where your TV was made, how about your other home appliances? Your phone? Your kids toys? You get my point. I doubt you ever denied a sale because the person drove a toyota.
