Nothing to be said as I had a thread some are familiar with regarding 22 inch wheels. I had asked how people thought the stang would ride on such a large wheel with particular reference to the HRE's on the 3d carbon vehicle. The consensus was it would not be the wisest choice, so I stuck with a 20 inch wheel that I felt would fit the lines of the car, and I really did'nt want chrome.

They are good looking wheels; whats the offset and backspace F/R. Are those Eibach Sportline springs? It's really low.

holderca1, do you plan on doing the blue accent on your interior the way you chopped it?

I like the deep dish look. Still a bit big for my old fashioned tastes but they look sharp, simple style works well.

22's don't have enough sidewall for street driving. Even with 20's you have to watch the pot-holes. One bad bump will destroy the rim.

Yeah which is a problem on the east coast for sure. Hellcat6, I like how the deep dish is offset in the front, its like a 1 inch lip upfront. jontall, I can't remember the offset off hand. AXIS made these wheels for the 05, i've always liked their wheels, but i've never had anything to put them on as most seem tunerish.

Greg, I'm in New York City and we have some really deep pot-holes here. You would be driving all over the road trying not to hit any.

Looks nice, congrats. Its larger than I'm going to go, but that is one of the neat things about it all,.........we all make our car fit our tastes.

Good luck with the potholes!

It will look hot when you get it done. I thought about keeping mine the Parchment but doing a darker buckskin suede insert. 05stangkc, lol, dude you're gonna need a lift kit for those 40's.

Those are simply amazing. They look like the GT-R wheels, although i might have gone with 19s and eibach lowering springs to help get rid of the gap between the fender, but i understand why you went 20s.


yes.....i like those wheels...what style are they and how much $$$

I think meatier tires look better on the new Mustang body style. But it's pretty obvious I'm in the minority. Those look nice, just not my style. Enjoy [attachmentid=13206]

Careful, Bill. Some kid will actually like your chop and try to do that.
Sure, why not? Since 20's look ridiculous on a Mustang, I'll try 36's!
