Recommend Me Some Wheels!

Thinking about new wheels. Most likely 18" Size, currently liking the idea of either Black Bullitts or Chrome Saleens (SN95 style).

Any thoughts/suggestions/photoshops?

Thanks

Since your car is the same color as mine, I have a picture below. Carroll Shelby Wheel Company CS67s 18 X 8.5 in Anthracite. No one has them around me, and I get SO MANY compliments about them. Very retro.

I got them directly from Steeda. For 18"x9.5" wheels they aren't horribly expensive.

I've got the Pentar's also. Black for my street tires and silver for my track tires. I bought them from Patt @ Total Mustang Supply in Coconut Creek (Ft. Laud area) Florida. He gave me a better price than I could buy them from Steeda. Give him a call and check them out. They have everything and have great prices. 954-425-0058.
Here are some pictures from their show last week. My car is in there in race trim (#57).

agreed - I went with front 18x9 and rear 18x10 magnum 500 rims from that site. Just got them in and I still need to get tires (I have a thread open about this) before I can put them on. They look **** sexy in the box tho!

Cool thanks for the tip, what size tires you running with those for the track?

My track tires are Toyo RA-1 275-35-18 (r compound) and my street tires are Goodyear F1 Supercar 275-40-18.
On my next set of track tires, I am going to try the Nitto NT-01 in the 275-40 series. I am awaiting a little more feedback on the longevity of the Nitto's before I switch. The Toyo's are a great track tire, very sticky and last a long time but, they don't make it in a 40 and the 35 is a little short. It does work well though.
