I'm looking to purchase rims for my 05 mustang. Any ideas?

Thanks

 

I'm still a big fan of Bullitts on the 05 style Mustangs.

 

I have a set of rim from my 05 GT, the upgraded wheels, dual 5 spoke style. For Sale.

 

These ones:

 

I think it depends on your car. Got any pics we can work from?

 

What's your budget? Do you want a typical/classic Mustang wheel, or something with some new school flavor? How about color?

 

 

I was thinking new school I'm not sure though, and I'm thinking black. I have tinted everything so black would go well with the theme

 

I like the RTR/TSW/SVTPP Wheels

 

Put a post in the 'for sale' section... perhaps someone might like them.

/don't see a thread there...yet?

 

Never thought of that. I will clean them up and inspect them this weekend to come up with an accurate condition.

 

After I bought tires last year, I was amazed at how cheap take-off GT500 rims/tires are on eBay. If I'd have known that I could get a set for about a grand, with almost brand new tires on them, I'd have jumped all over them. Unfortunately, I'd already invested a grand in tires, mounting, balancing, and alignment.

Got my take-offs for $800 with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. Brand new. Parking lot miles on them.

 

The GT500 takeoffs are cheap and wide, but they don't look good very good. I switched them back to my OEM 18" bullitts.

I actually find the Hurst wheels pretty nice if you are after the vintage look.

 

Don't feel bad, I bought one of these sets and tires were out of round. A lot of ppl stocking take offs are not storing them correctly and some of them are getting fairly old by now.

I had to pay extra to get them re-balanced (road force) but half of the tires could not balance properly.

 

Get black bullitts

 

+1 on the black bullitts - that's what I'm saving for

 

What size you getting?

 

Items like this are always a matter of personal taste. But I 2nd the comments above about Bullets looking great on these cars. My Pony came with 17 inch painted Bullets and I stumbled across a set of 18 inch polished take-offs (with tires) on Craigslist for a song.

PS, has anybody pointed out to you that you purchased a formal rental fleet car? The rubber bumpy things on the doors are the give away. Those were only available through fleet sales.

Hope your car was handled gently.

 

Right now im rocking 17x8s hopefully one day i can run 17x9s front n 17x10s rear
