New Wheels !!!!

Well the "Mod bug" is calling again (I knew I wouldn't be able to keep this one stock for long) .... I'm looking at wheels and I came across these pictures over on mustangworld.com ... Does anyone know what size wheels those are? and what type of wheel that is? ...

American Racing or an American Muscle wheel and I bet they are 20x10 out back and 20x9 out front. Just a guess but I am willing to wager here.........

yeah I was thinking those were 22". The other black car in the background of the 2nd pic looks to have 20's. It could be misleading due to the tire height and stance of the car but I think they are bigger.

Yeah, those look like 22's. I have 20" Torque Thrust M's from TireRack(Shelby ones) and I have more tire then that. I cant imagine having any less.

Here are some older pictures of my car with 20's. I'll be honest, the ride isn't what it used to be. But I like the looks and I dont go over rough roads all that often so I'm not doing to bad.

I think they fill the gap pretty nice.

That looks awesome .... now I know what the black wheels will look like with the redfire ....


The 05 I had before had 30 series tires in the rear ... so I know what to expect regarding ride quality (the 335i I posted pics of the other day has 25 series tires in the rear ... so I'm not new to "low-pros") .....


I wonder what the 22's in black would look like with the redfire ... ... assuming that the black car in the original post really does have 22's on it .... according to mustang world the pics were taken at the Saddleback Mustang Association Show ... was anyone there?????

I've seen this car at several local Mustang shows here in SoCal, it belongs to a lady.

If you're in SoCal next weekend, I'm sure she'll be entering at the Queen Mary show on Sunday, Sept. 23.

There deffinitely 22s, look at the 20" versions posted by JonCo, check out the difference in the gap between the brakes. Maybe you could do a 22" rear and 20" front setup.

What's w/ Gone in 60 seconds poster. This car wasn't in the movie, and it certainly doesn't have a Eleanor bodykit or anything like that.

Yeah, soon as I bought the Redfire I knew black rims were in order. I think black accents the redfire perfect.

It looks like a total car show, with some of the "go" factor. It really depends what you are going for! Performance, or show? With 22"s, I don't think you can have both...
