I love 'em. I'm only concerned with getting tire pressure monitoring to work.

And what would I do with my old rims/tires? Sell em to the store?

Says they are 245/45-19.


Should fit on all 4 Stang wheels, right?



If anyone finds any other sick 18-19" rims on TireRack.com post 'em here!

Yea you have to get out of that foreign frame of mind. Plus i do not think they will go well with Red Candy. Look into the '10 GT500 wheels that are similar to that but more muscular.

The only thing I don't like about them is the name on the lip instead of the black line continuing all the way around

I like the design of the spokes. The hex nuts and the line / logo around the outer rim just kill it for me, though.

I like em man different is good and those are a classic five spoke design with a different execution/interpetation than a standard stang wheel. I say go for it don't worry about tpms just have the tire shop take off your stock sensors and reuse them on the new wheels as the 2010+stangs use a screw on type tpms sensor instead of a band type sensor used on the 05-09 models. 245/45/19 is nice and beefy to ad at least a 1" drop and it would look great man with the black contrasting against the red candy well imo anyways!

Meh...too hood for my tastes. If you like them though, go for it. If you want chrome, I'd go with the Steeda Ultralite IIs...

I dont know if the tire shop would take a trade in, but they might.. you could always sell your stockers on ebay or on this site.. but you may have to deal with shipping them which could be a pain.

If you change the wheels, just keep the stock ones dude. You never know when you might need them. God forbid, what if someone steals your new ones and leaves the car on blocks? Or if you eventually sell the car you can sell both sets with the car, or sell the new ones separately. Etc etc...just saying it's always good to have an extra wheel/tire combo around if you have the room.

And if you try to sell to Carmax they deduct big dollars for not having stock wheels.

Not for me but I would also think about the size and offset. 8.5" is too narrow for me. That's one of the reasons the RTR wheels posted above look so good, because of the sizing and stance it gives the car.

I think someone needs to photochop em on a car similar to yours before I can say anything about em. I love the RTR and SVTPP's but everyone will have them soon enough, so if you wanna be different go for it I guess.

I still kind of want to know if my old school Budnik GTX wheels would work. Have to lower the car. Otherwise I do like the RTR or SVTPP wheels. More of the look I wanted for the new Mustang.

Side note: Christie please humor me and tell me that's a picture of someone else in your avatar.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to be the first to say anything.
