I just bought the new GT rims/tires for my V6 05 stang and was wondering if any of you V6 owners have done it as well and do you notice any difference and what difference do you notice? Thanks!

I put on 17" American Racing Casino Chromes plus the same Pirelli's the GT's use. I've noticed a big difference in ride... hugs the road!

I noticed a huge difference when I bought my Bullit wheels and put the Nitto tires on them. It feels like the car really sticks to the road and isn't as squirley as it was before. B)

Are you kidding me? I love the sound of squeeling tires everytime I go around a curve over 30...

When you guys put the GT wheels on did you loose any of the comfort that v6's are know for?

Thanks for the info. Someone told me that it made the car have a hard ride. Not like it matters though if it looks better and grips the road better then it's worth it.
