What do you guys think of these wheels on a Satin Silver GT? They are available
in 18" or 19". I am leaning towards the 19".

I haven't ordered them, just saw them on the website..Privat's website shows that you can get them in 8" or 9" wide in the 18"..Only 8" wide in the 19"..I am undecided on the size of wheel..I think 255 wide tires are in order..

255 will probably look extremely good with those rims. Wether you get 18s or 19s, you got to post pictures so we can see the result.

I like them!!! I'm getting a satin silver gt also, and I think they would look pretty tight!! I'm leaning a little more toward something like the racecar prototype wheels, but those definitely would look great!! Definitely looks good in my mind!!

What do you think of these on a satin silver gt? Similar to the Fikse, but much cheaper!!! B)

I don't know...I think the Fikse ones look better. There's just something about the Kazera ones that says "hey I'm an 80's Volvo rim"..

I am not sure if the Privat wheels are 1 or 2 piece. Best price I found for 19"x8" is $252. I liked them because the spokes are a slightly darker (Steel Gray) with the
machined lip. I like the Fikse (too expensive) and the chrome ones above but I think they only come in 18" and I am leaning towards 19". !8"'s still look a little small to me on this car. Privat also have these wheels:

So far these are the closest I've found to the ford 18"s. Mille Miglia EV-S,
don't know if they're any good but I know the bolt pattern fits.

I like your first choice, they will look sweet.

Frankswildyears, I know that Mille Miglia makes good rims, haha, I'm a proud owner!!!! I have chrome Evo5's and they have been great from the box to now. Seem to be very well made (Italian), and they always shine up real nice!! I'd buy them again!! As far as my wheel choice goes, I'm not purchasing new ones until at least next summer so I'll have some time to weigh my options and see what you guys do. I really don't know, but I do like the racer look on this car, especially with the spoiler delete. It'll be nice when tirerack loads the 05 mustang image into their database so I can see them on the car, I think I'll try to go with 19"s too, but 18"s wouldn't be bad either!! B)

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably wait til the spring as well. I think 18"s will be big enough for me.

YES!

I love that site and have been waiting for them to load a graphic image of the car so I could play around and do just that!

I've ordered tires from them on a few occassion and think its a great company.
(no wheels yet though..)
