Hey Joker, take a look at these too. They're similar but not exact. I actually like these slightly more because of how the dark sections are divided.

I live in the DC Metro area and I plan on keeping my stock rims for an easy winter tire swap. Unless this is a summer car only for you.

Not a fan of the two-tone wheels. Especially with the black/polish finish on them. Stick with a single color, simple design if you want to compliment the car. Again, my opinion, but those fit on Civics, not Mustangs.

Oh, so now I'm looking like the bad guy! Awesome...

The rims in the original post I just don't like at all. I used to build low riders and sport trucks too, just never got into that style though.

See I haven't derailed too much!

Me too, now that everyone is point it out that I called on it just makes me look like a dick. Thanks everybody.

Christie, no hard feelings? Not going after you or anything either, nor did I mean to overstep on to fiance territory.

Why wouldn't all seasons work in the winter? My car is garaged and I don't plan to drive in heavy snow.

Where would I store the tires anyways? I don't think the Ford dealership would do it and I don't have the room/tools at my condo.

Set them on your living room floor, spread out in the shape of a rectangle, add glass panel on top and voilą! Instant coffee table!

Yes Christie is hot, even hotter that she drives a modded Mustang, no Kelsey you're not a dick haha.

Are 255 tires too big to use? How about 285's?

I found some rims I like but they require 255's to 285's.

255 is narrower than 285.

No. I mean isn't there a limit on tire size? At a certain point won't arent' the tires too big? I figure there's a reason ford doesn't offer 22's :-P

255s on front, 285s in the rear. Same sizes as the GT500. Depends on wheel offset though.
