Wheels

Anyone happen to have a set of chrome or black aftermarket wheels for a 99+ mustang? I would like to trade my stock bullitts with almost new tires for an aftermarket set with good/new tires. I'm not a fan of the Cobra R wheels.

Yes, they are on my 01 GT.


They should fit 94-04 perfect and 05+ they might stick out some I'm not sure due to the offset. I do know that 05+ wheels on a 99-04 require spacers to look right.

Well I'm only able to trade for wheels right now. But I will eventually be getting another set of wheels, however it might be end of this year or maybe beginning of next year.

If you are wanting a new set of 17" tires I recommend www.discounttiredirect.com

I buy my tires from there and the prices are reasonable and they ship quick, plus shipping is free!

I might consider selling my FR Black Bullitts 18" x 8.5" that are on my car now. They have Nittos 855 in frt. and 555 in rear and are about 50% tread.

I would have to buy spacers to make those for right though. S197s have a different offset which causes the wheels to sit further in the wheel well of a new edge.

Will do.

This is one of my last items I need to finish off my exterior. The stock wheels just don't go with the black and white.

Why dont you paint the charcoal 'spokes' black or have them powder coated?

That is my backup plan, almost did it last week. I might do it next week before the show. Need to get wheel spacers for back as well, the wheels sit too far in for my liking.
