The nice thing about this thread is the amount of choices there are in wheels and how different they make the car look. Am I the only guy who runs 17 inch wheels?

I have seen quite a few people replace their wheels, but transfer over the tires

They'll do whatever you want! Go to http://www.tirerack.com to get some ideas. Btw, they have great customer service and a good selection of Ford SVT wheels as well.

I kept my stock tires on my new 18x9 bullit Replicas. Tire Kingdom did it for me.I stressed the importance of not scratching the chrome I can't remember what they carged but it wasn't that bad

I'm curious if anybody has any pictures of these Magnum 500 style wheels (1st picture).
http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....Z5Z5Z50000016b

They are a lot less expensive than the other version I've seen (see link and 2nd picture below) and have more of a deep dish look
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Looks like a cross between the middle picture and the Mach 1 style wheels (last picture)

thanks guys. i was going to go for the "sleeper" look, but i have been wanting these for over a year. amazing how just adding rims and tires can completely change the look of the car.

man, i spent the past 10 minutes trying to think of a comeback for you, john... drawing a blank.
