2005-2009 Mustang Information on The S197 {Gen1}

I believe Ford has changed the stock 17" wheels for 2007!

I like your way of thinking... already thinking of personal plates... got a few good ones in the works. Hope my first choice is not taken. (Will spill the beans later on that one.)

Ok, I'm going to be completely pissed off if my '07 comes with silver painted wheels. I have silver painted wheels now and they are a pain in the butt to keep clean.

Help me out. How would they be any harder to clean than Argent? If you're getting a GT or Pony Package, they'll have the Silver... (unless you upgrade, but it sounds like you haven't).

The only reason i think they would be harder to keep clean, is the break dust would show more.

Cool shot. It does the trick. You can see a difference. Keen observation, 'Pup.

Now did you take my advice and pop a Valium? Diazepan works wonders!

I know they've been out for 6 years already, but still like the original look better.

Or maybe I'm just cranky since it was almost 100 degrees here yesterday and my A/C isn't working at the house...
its the heat

I really wish the 18" Bullits looked more like the stock ones, they are so sweet.

Personally I like the darker rims on the darker cars, the light ones just stand out to much for my taste.
