There are VERY few wheels I've seen posted that actually look good on the Mustang. (most belong on Hondas or Escalades) Yours definitely look good. Nice choice. I especially like how "thick" they are.

I agree completely. I think BBS type wheels (and other open styles) look great on other sports cars, but the new mustangs have such strong prominent features that they need a strong wheel. It had to be thick.

I agree about the back wheel looking a little small, but I wanted same size all the way around so I could rotate them.

No thanks on the ducktail. I absolutely LOVE the backend with the strong chop. If I ever add a different lower front fascia, then I would need some sort of ducktail for visual balance.

thanks for all the compliments

wheel sizes/brand are in my sig

the wheels I purchased from tiredlr.com, they had by far the best price ( I also had 3 of 4 wheels factory damaged) John at tiredlr sent me 3 new ones and refunded my the $100 it cost to send the damaged ones back, good company, they have a limited selection, but great to work with

the tires I bought off of tirerack, I was going to purchase them through Belle Tire, but belle said they couldn't offer insurance on a 45 series tire, so that sealed the deal

the wheels were $161 a piece, same for the tires, which I think was a great deal

nope sorry

I work in advertising.

Bloody Guts refers to the interior of my car.

Do you live in the area?
