Don't like thos wheels myself, they look like flowers. And in 20s they really change the muscle car look.


Why yes they really do change the muscle car look don't they... they actually do fill out those enormous wheelwells now. FLOWER POWER baby!!!

Why do people feel compelled to come into a thread that a specific question is being asked and answered among mature adults and TRY to insult people?
I didn't get that from his post. Only offering his opinion. I also don't particularly like the look, but you probably won't like the wheels I choose, either. So what. If you only want positive responses, you're giong to be very frustrated. eace:

Definitely not looking for only positive responses. I know that will never happen since everyone has different taste. There are some on this forum that I don't like but I haven't once replied to someone's thread and said anything like "they look like flowers". Perhaps a better response would be "I don't really care for the look but I'm glad you like them" sort of like your response.

sajonf,

I'd like to know how the Mustang rides with 20's. I'm assuming you ran with the stock setup for a little while so how does it compare. Thanks!

If anyone is looking for Foose wheels I highly reccomend you get them from a dealer in your area. The ones on the internet which look like a cheap good deal are usually blems pay the little extra and have them fit correctly at your dealer.

The ride is quite a bit different than with the stock wheels and tires. Of course it is a harsher ride over the bumps because of the short sidewalls but I think it improved the handling of the car a lot. Having sticky 285s in the back also seems to have helped the traction on accelleration, they don't break loose quite as easy now. The biggest problem I have is trying to avoid denting a rim or bubbling a sidewall on these huge potholes we have here in the midwest.

Please post pics when you get them. I am also going with the Lusso 18's for my car ... once I get the car. Would like to see how they look as well.

BM convinced me to go with them as well.

Talking

Well i have some pic's of mine with the LUSSO but i just have to say hold off they are going back if you want the correct offset of the back wheels.......Howdy From Texas.........20x9 25mm offset and 20x10 40mm offset is the correct set up for the mean look. When i say hold off FOOSE is coming out with a new wheel called the NITROW and mine should be here in 3 weeks i will get those pic's up also when i get them on. Tires 245x35x20 & 285x30x20 NITTO 555
